Summary Introduction

A phylogenetic tree is the diagrammatic representation of evolutionary relationships among organisms. The structure of the phylogenetic tree is comparable with the tree which has many branches. The root of the phylogenetic tree is the common ancestor and branches are related genus and species. The most common ancestor lies at each branching point.
