Chapter 25, Problem 7TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: A common ancestor represents the origin point of more than one type of species. The phylogenetic tree represents the evolutionary relationship between the organisms which were present in the past (extinct) with the recent organisms (extant). The tree shows the percentage of similarities between the organisms.
