How does a phylogenetic tree relate to the passing of time? Some organisms that appear very closely related to a phylogenetic tree may not actually be closely related (Example. Sharks and dolphins). Why is this?
A phylogenetic tree is a branching diagram that shows the evolutionary relationship among different biological species or genes or organisms from a common ancestor. They are used as a research tool in various fields. All of the provided statements are true regarding phylogenetic trees, except? It is considered as a hypothesis of the evolutionary path. It is a tool that shows the evolutionary pathway. It shows evolutionary history through common ancestors. It shows only the phenotypic similarity.
Use the following phylogenetic tree to help determine if the provided examples below are homologous structures or analogous structures.
