To model:
The evolutionary tree and mention the trunk, branches, and branching points.
Introduction:
The change in characteristics of a species over various generations is termed as the evolution. It is based on the process of natural selection. The theory of evolution says that all species are related to each other and their characteristics change over time.
Explanation of Solution
The evolutionary tree as follows:
The trunk in the evolutionary tree depicts that the way by which an ancestor gives rise various new species due to evolution. The branch point depicts the node. The branches depicts the new species formed after evolution.
