Chapter 24.3, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The systematists utilize the homologous characters for their phylogenetic analysis.
Introduction:
Organisms that share similar features, their genome tend to be more closely related than the organisms having dissimilar characters. There are some organisms having similar features but do not share the same evolutionary relationship. The
