1. The group nearest the end or with the shortest stem of a phylogenetic tree has evolved most recently. In this case it is eutherians.

2. The group with the longest stem has been around the longest: fish

3. A direct common ancestor will share the same immediate line, like marsupials and eutherians. Fish and marsupials do not have a common direct ancestor.

Answer:

Please see below in bold type.

Explanation:

1. You can see on the far left the time scale in million years ago (mya). So the further up the division in the phylogenetic tree, the closer to the present time it branched off. Having said this, the branching that appears further up in the tree is that of Eutherians, so we conclude this is the group that evolved most recently.

2. Acording to this logic, the group that has been around the longest must the one that branched off first (or farther down) from the phylogenetic tree. This is the group of the fish.

3. In every branching of the tree there was a common ancestor to the groups above. Consequently, we can see in the tree that marsupials and fish don't have a direct common ancestor, because Birds and Monotremes branched off first before Marsupials appeared. Marsupials did share a direct common ancestor with Eutherians.

Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) are the National Incident Management System (NIMS) command and coordination structures that are offsite locations where staff from multiple agencies come together.

Emergency operations center (EOC) is a control facility that functions mainly for incident response. This center serves as a central intelligence arena where response team personnel and decision makers gather and analyze extremely important information, organize response activities, make decisions that guards life and property, communicates with staff and response team personnel and ensure the consistent existence and operation of the organization.

Cheamical structure or formula for photosynthesis
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.

The overall balanced equation is...

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

 Sunlight energy

Where: CO2= carbon dioxide

H2O = water

Light energy is required

C6H12O6 = glucose

O2 = oxygen

hope this helps

good lucky

no problem
