Question
Chapter 17, Problem 2TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:
1. The root as well as the outgroup and the differences between the outgroup organism and others.
2. The two closely related organisms and the node that represents the last common ancestor of Neisseria and Haemophilus.
3. The genome that evolved faster than others.
Introduction:
A diagram that represents the evolutionary relationships among different organisms constitutes a phylogenetic tree. The construction of a phylogenetic tree requires information on homologous, analogous traits and other molecular evidence that can be used to establish relationships.
