A phylogeny based on the natural evolution of organisms can explain the variations among fossils from rock strata, why there are similarities and differences among modern living groups, reflect patterns of shared and unique sections of DNA among groups of animals, and help predict where unresearched features will be in common, such as how widely a medicine will be effective among animals. Therefore, all the choices are correct.
