Chapter 18.2, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
The composite tree of eukaryotes tells about the phylogenetic relationship between the organisms at the different level of evolutionary phases. The relationships between the super-groups of eukarya can be represented in the form of a phylogenetic tree. The tree which is formed after the determination of sequences of 16S (Swedberg unit) ribosomal RNA genes is referred as ribosomal RNA based tree.
