Select all the correct answers. looking at the phylogenetic tree, which three statements can you make about the interconnectedne
ss of the species a, b, c, d, and e? phylogenetic tree showing x and y branching out from a common root. x branches out into a and b. y branches out into c on one leaf and d and e together on the other leaf. species a and c may have shared features from a common ancestor. species c is more related to species d than species d is related to species e. species b and c are more closely related than species c and d. species b and e may have shared features from a common ancestor. species a is more related to species b than species b is related to species c.
Species A and C may have shared features from a common ancestor
Species B and E may have shared features from a common ancestor
Species A is more related to species B than species B is related to (any of the other species)
<h3>What is Phylogenetic tree ?</h3>
A phylogenetic tree is a visual representation of the evolutionary connections between various creatures. Phylogenetic trees are theories rather than proven truths.
A phylogenetic tree's branching pattern illustrates how many species or other groups developed from a number of common predecessors.
From this phylogenetic tree we can see that all five species have a shared distant, common ancestor, meaning that they all evolved from a single species. Because they all share the same common ancestor, there's every chance that the species A and C, or species B and E, share some features from their common.
You can easily remember it because the scientific name of leech is Hirudinaria. So it secretes anticoagulant named hirudin. Which help it to feed blood longer
