Question

Create a phylogenetic tree with the following animals: human, chip, gorilla, orangutan, (hint you might have to research DNA differences)

Answer 1

Answer:

 The phylogenetic tree can be shown in the attachment.

Explanation:

A phylogenetic tree can be described as a diagram which depicts evolutionary histories among organisms of different species. The organisms which are more closely related are more closer to one another in a phylogenetic tree.

Human, chip, gorilla, orangutan all are greater apes whose complete DNA have been sequenced. The sequencing of their genomes showed that humans have the closest relationship with chimpanzees. Hence, scientists believe that humans might have evolved from the chimpanzees.
