Question
Chapter 26.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To test visual skills: Find the tree showing different evolutionary history.
Introduction:
Phylogenetic tree depicts hypothesis relationship between one group and other group of organism. The tree displays five group of organism in the tip of the branch. They are interrelated and known as taxa. Every branch point symbolizes a common ancestor from the evolutionary lineages.

Students have asked these similar questions
(Check all the right answers). The goal of Phylogenetic systematics is to determine;
- the evolutionary pathways by which existing (and extinct) species arose;
- the degree of relatedness of various species;
- the specifics of species relatedness (HOW close/distant they are related);
- the determination of extinct ancestors' morphology.
What techniques can we use here?
Genetics? Morphology? Biological Concept? or the coloration of the picture?
Choose about the cladogram/phylogenetic tree/evolutionary steps of plants, or animals or chordates - write those 4 steps and what organisms share those characteristics
