  • Natural selection is the process by which certain traits become more or less common in a population over time, based on their impact on reproductive success.
  • Phylogeny is the process by which the heritable characteristics of biological populations change over successive generations.
  • The first theory of evolution in the year 1744-1829 known as transmutation was proposed by R.C.Kamal.
  • The theory of evolution by Natural Selection states that organisms change over time as a result of changes in their heritable characteristics.
  • The evolutionary process that led to the emergence of anatomically modern humans began with the evolutionary history of primates.
  • An evidence of evolution that supports Darwin’s theory, stating that simple forms gradually evolved into more complex ones, is the use of remains of dead plants and animals.
  • F and B; G and C; H and D are examples of organisms that belong to the monophyletic group.
  • F and B; G and C; H and D are examples of organisms that can undergo species extinction.
  • The termination of a species can be specified as species extinction.
  • Species extinction is the termination of a species.
  • A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are examples of organisms that can undergo species extinction.
  • Speciation can occur in a group of organisms such as A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.
  • Organisms that belong to the monophyletic group include O, F, and B; G and C; H and D.
  • A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are examples of organisms that can undergo speciation.
  • The hierarchical taxonomic classification helps scientists understand and organize the diversity of life in our planet.
  • A Phylogenetic Tree is composed of lines that represent the branches of trees.
  • A Phylogenetic Tree is a branching diagram, showing the evolution of closely-related species from their ancestor.
  • The distance of the branches in a Phylogenetic Tree represents the amount of inferred evolutionary change.
  • The length of a line in a Phylogenetic Tree represents the existence of the species over time.
  • The root or basal node of the Phylogenetic Tree represents the common ancestor.
  • The descendants in a Phylogenetic Tree are represented by the branches of the tree.
  • A line in a Phylogenetic Tree shows the propagation of a particular species over time.
  • The internal node in a Phylogenetic Tree is the one connecting the branches of the tree.
  • Basically, it means groups are classified within larger groups.
  • Each level of hierarchy in the taxonomic classification is called the taxonomic level, with the kingdom being the highest and species the lowest.
  • The basic unit of classification in the taxonomic hierarchy is the species, which are organisms that share many features and can breed with each other producing fertile offspring.
  • The patter of branches in a Phylogenetic Tree represents the evolutionary relationships between organisms.
  • During the time of Linnaeus, the kingdoms were only the plants and animals.
  • The focus of taxonomy is classifying and naming living organisms while phylogeny is to trace the evolutionary history of an organism.
  • A Phylogenetic Tree is a branching diagram that represents the evolutionary history of an organism.
  • Phylogenetic Tree and Evolutionary Relationship are terms in taxonomy that focus on classifying and naming living organisms based on shared anatomical features.
  • After the discovery of microcospe, the kingdoms expanded to include microorganisms.
  • Each species has its own ancestor every time it splits; organisms are closely related if they have a common ancestor.</
  • Monophyletic groups are organisms composed of unrelated organisms descended from a single ancestor.
  • A phylogenetic tree is drawn inside the box.
  • Organisms may be very closely related, even if they look different, due to convergent evolution.
  • Each species has its own ancestor every time it splits; organisms are closely related if they have a common ancestor.
  • Phylogeny is the study of the evolutionary history of an organism or group.
  • To determine the phylogeny of an organism, it is necessary to know the phylogeny of its closest relatives.
  • An ingroup is the clade that is the focus of a phylogenetic analysis while the outgroup is the distantly related group of organisms that serves as a reference group, nearest to the root.
