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:
The dispersion pattern of the population depends on the type of the population and their distribution in the environment. Different types of dispersion are uniform, random and clumped.
The uniform dispersion occur when the population is evenly spaced out in the area. Random dispersion is independent of the other individuals and randomly spaced. Clumped dispersion is greatly influenced by the behavior and the resources. Population are present in small patches.
All waves transfer energy from one place to another, but they do not transfer matter.
