- Phylogeny refers to the evolutionary descent of taxa. It refers to the relationship between ancestors and descendants and relationships among descendant taxa. It shows the lineage of taxa which can be summarized in a branching diagram called a phylogenetic tree.1. Express some basic evolutionary relationships among groups of microorganisms, plants, and animals; 2. Illustrate the relationship of organisms with their environment; and 3. Analyze environmental factors contributing to biodiversity richness and lossarrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT necessary for speciation to take place? Genetic divergence Physical separation by a geographic barrier Separation in space or time Reproductive isolationarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about ancestral and derived traits are true? Ancestral traits are shared by taxa due to common ancestry (e.g., the ancestor had that trait). Derived traits are present in all members of a phylogeny Derived traits are new characteristics that evolved in a lineage after divergence from a common ancestor with an ancestral trait. Ancestral traits are unique to a single species.arrow_forward
