Regarding cladistics

a) it is a type of taxonomic classification
b) it places all primates in the same family "clade" (this is why most anthropologists utilize caldistics)
c) cladistics reveals relative evolutionary branching by utilizing genetic analysis
d) it uses shared derived traits to determine placement in taxonomic classifications

Option C, cladistics reveals relative evolutionary branching by utilizing genetic analysis

Explanation:

Cladistics classification is a way of classifying organisms biologically in a way that a relationship between their shared traits could be established which leads to identification of closely related organism and species. It further helps to identify ancestry history of closely related species to identify closely related common ancestors and the evolution of various characteristics.

Basically in  Cladistics  study, species are arranged on a phylogenetic tree based on the time of their emergence from any other group.

Hence, option C is correct.

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."
