A phylogenetic tree<span> or evolutionary </span>tree<span> is a branching diagram or "</span>tree<span>" showing the inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities—their </span>phylogeny<span>—based upon similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics.</span>
It occurs in the ribosomes.
Radiation can damage DNA. This could result in a change in the proteins which make up the plant's physical structure.
<span>For example, a plant might have a gene for purple pigment which makes its flowers purple. Radiation might change the DNA sequence so that the directions for making the purple pigment tell it to stop prematurely, and the result might be white flowers rather than purple flowers.</span>
It would be a catalyst. They help increase the rate of chemical reactions.
