Introduction:

There are three types of classification category. They are monophyletic, polyphyletic, and paraphyletic. Monophyletic is the group which has an ancestor and all the descendants are of the ancestor. Polyphyletic is the group which does not include any common ancestors in the group of organisms. Paraphyletic is the group which includes ancestors but some of the descendants are of the ancestors.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
List one similarity and one difference between the groups listed below. If a term appears in parentheses after the pair, both your answers must be related to that term (e.g. if the term says "structure" your answer must relate to anatomy). Taxonomic classifications are not acceptable as answers. For example, "Both belong to phylum Chordata" or "One belongs to class Insecta and one belongs to class Arachnida" are both unacceptable answers. Vague answers will receive less or no credit. • Porifera & Cnidaria (body plan) 身
