name the two broad types or categories of approaches to building a phylogenetic tree.
molecular - based
distance - based
taxonomic - based
character - based

Explanation:

These are the two broad, core categories for constructing phylogenetic trees. Distance-based methods use genetic distance matrices to group organisms, while character-based methods analyze discrete heritable traits (molecular or morphological) to infer relationships. Molecular-based and taxonomic-based are not the overarching broad categories here.

Answer:

B. Distance-based, D. Character-based
