- Why are paraphyletic groups considered as bad groups in a phylogenetic tree?arrow_forwardIf a taxonomist constructs a rooted phylogenetic tree for a group of living species, the structure of the tree alone can be used to distinguish hypotheses of monophyly versus nonmonophyly of a particular subgroup. If monophyly is rejected for a particular subgroup, tree topology alone cannot distinguish paraphyly from polyphyly. What additional information is needed to distinguish paraphyly from polyphyly?arrow_forwardWhat is the sister taxon of Taxon 3. The sister taxa or clade of Taxon 1?
