The common ancestor.

A phylogenetic tree shows how a species originates (by evolution) other species. It’s very similar a genealogic tree. If you want your family tree, you should write down your name and the names of all your brothers and sisters and then draw a line from all those names to the names of your parents, and then draw a line from the name of your father to the names of your gramma and grampa, and then do the same with the names of your aunts and uncles. If you repeat the process with many, many generations, you will have the common ancestor to all of those relatives. You can do the same with species: for example, humans are supposed to have a common ancestor with monkeys, so their lines will end together in the same point in the graph. Then you have to draw a line from that point to another point that will be shared with other mammalians, then Mammalians share a point with other vertebrates, and so on… If you keep on going, you will get to LUCA someday.

Answer: Biological polymers are large molecules composed of many similar smaller molecules linked together in a chain-like fashion. The individual smaller molecules are called monomers. When small organic molecules are joined together, they can form giant molecules or polymers. These giant molecules are also called macromolecules. Natural polymers are used to build tissue and other components in living organisms.

Generally speaking, all macromolecules are produced from a small set of about 50 monomers. Different macromolecules vary because of the arrangement of these monomers. By varying the sequence, an incredibly large variety of macromolecules can be produced. While polymers are responsible for the molecular "uniqueness" of an organism, the common monomers are nearly universal.

The variation in the form of macromolecules is largely responsible for molecular diversity. Much of the variation that occurs both within an organism and among organisms can ultimately be traced to differences in macromolecules. Macromolecules can vary from cell to cell in the same organism, as well as from one species to the next.

TEA [102]

In fact, the concordance rate of autism spectrum disorder was twice in identical twins that of non-twin siblings.

It has been shown that genetic has a huge influence on the development of autism spectrum disorder and that autism in identical twins was 13 times that of the general population. This suggest that environmental factors in the womb are the major factors that contribute.
