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.

Draw a simpler version of the phylogenetic tree that just depicts the four supergroups of eukaryotes after viewing the image. Now imagine and sketch the tree as if the unikonts were the first eukaryotes to diverge from the rest of the eukaryotes.

Eukaryotes are sometimes termed nature’s master builders. Why is this a more apt description for members of the Eukaryotic branch tree of life than Prokaryotic branches life?
