Summary Introduction

To determine: A eukaryotic phylogenetic tree which indicates that the tree's root would lie between a clade of excavates, unikonts, and various other eukaryotes.

Concept introduction: A phylogenetic tree basically depicts the extinction and branching of species and their ancestors through time. In the biology of evolution, "relationship" is a word that has a specific meaning and is a key for using and understanding the 'Tree of Life'. Phylogenetic trees are the evolutionary trees that come with various successive events of branching (speciation). Here, a single species gives rise to two other species.

make a drawing of a phylogenetic tree that contains all 3 domains of life. The tree should include at least three different animals, two plants, chemoheterotrophic bacteria, photoautotrophic bacteria, chemoheterotrophic archaea, thermophilic archaea and fungi. Identify both primary endosymbiosis events on the tree and draw a line to connect it to the organism that would become the future organelle.
Draw a simpler version of the phylogenetic tree that just depicts the four supergroups of eukaryotes after viewing the image. Now imagine the tree as if the unikonts were the first eukaryotes to diverge from the rest of the eukaryotes.
