The number of possible trees increases only linearly with the number of components one is comparing

One can use DNA, RNA and/or protein sequences.

It is possible to estimate which species are separated by less evolutionary distance.

Explanation:

The pylogenetic analysis is a process to estimate the evolutionary relationship. The sequence of a gene, DNA, RNA or protein can be used to assess the evolutionary relationship of species. Phylogenetic tree increases only linearly with the number of components. It is possible to estimate which species are separated in divergence time by less evolutionary relationship.
