Answer;

Two organisms that are placed on distantly spaced twigs on a phylogenetic tree are distantly related. They don't share the most recent common ancestor.

Explanation;

A phylogenetic tree is a diagram that describes the evolutionary relationships among carious species, based on the information available to and gathered by systematists. Should be viewed as hypotheses.

-The pattern of branching in a phylogenetic tree reflects how species or other groups evolved from a series of common ancestors. In trees, two species are more related if they have a more recent common ancestor and less related if they have a less recent common ancestor.

Answer:

Enzymes like DNA polymerase III, HELICASE, Primase, Topoisomerase, ligase.

Explanation:

DNA replication is an important process that must occur prior to cell division. DNA content of a cell becomes duplicated in the process. This process, however, cannot occur without some vital elements that play specific roles. These elements are mostly enzymes which includes DNA polymerase III, HELICASE, Primase, Topoisomerase, ligase.

DNA POLYMERASE III is the main enzyme in this process, it adds nucleotides that are complementary to the unwinded DNA strand in order to synthesize its replica.

However, a new complementary DNA strand cannot be synthesized if the original double-stranded DNA does not unwind or separate. This process of unzipping the DNA into a Y-shaped replication fork is done by HELICASE.

DNA polymerase III starts adding nucleotides from the 3' end of the DNA strand. In order to recognize this end on the strand about to be synthesized, PRIMASE synthesizes a short strand of nucleic acid called Primer. This primer provides the DNA polymerase with something to start working on.

TOPOISOMERASE works on the double-stranded DNA prior to formation of replication fork by helicase. It helps prevent the DNA strands from becoming too tight and super coiled in order to make unzipping easy.

LIGASE helps to fill up those gaps in the DNA fragments during the synthesis of a complementary strand.
