Phylogenetic trees are tree-like graphic representation that show the evolutive relationship between different taxa.

<h3>What is a phylogenetic tree?</h3>

A phylogenetic tree is a graphic representation of the evolutive relationship between different taxa.

This representation has a tree-like shape.

The phylogenetic tree expresses how far or close are in evolutive history the different groups.  

<h3>Structure of the phylogenetic tree</h3>

The phylogenetic tree is composed of,

  • Lineages → The taxonomic groups of interest. These are placed in the extremes of the branches.

  • Nodes → These are the ramification points, which are also known as divergence points. They represent the location of the most recent common ancestor.  

  • Root → This is the oldest common ancestor that all lineages share. The first one in the tree.  

⇒ Highly related groups that share a recent common ancestor. This means that they all diverge from the same node.

⇒ Lineages less related to each other are those whose common ancestor is far away in history.  

In a phylogenetic tree, the most distant group receives the name of outgroup.

It shares no traits or characters with the lineages of interest that compose the ingroup.

You can compare the outgroup with the ingroup to determine the evolutive relationship and which characters are primitive or derived.    

Since I do not have further information, I will describe each of the trees.

A) Capibara and camel share a more recent common ancestor in history than they do with guinea pig. Capibara y camel are more closely related.

B) Guinea pig and Capibara share a more recent common ancestor in history than they do with camel. Capibara y guinea pig are more closely related.

C) The three lineages have the same common ancestor and are equally related to each other.

D) Guinea pig and Camel share a more recent common ancestor in history than they do with capibara. Camel y guinea pig are more closely related.

According to your information, you can determine which tree is the best.

when Na lost e it shrank and the CI+ grew in size does that say anything about the location of the electrons before and after it
ValentinkaMS [17]

<span>We know that electrons are occupied on a cloud surrounding the nucleus. So which means that the bigger the electron cloud, the bigger the number of electrons. So in this case, since Na shrank so it lost some electrons. And since Cl+ grew in size of the electron cloud so electron was added to it.</span>

Plant cells, unlike animal cells, are characterized by the presence of a ________.
expeople1 [14]

B. Cell wall and a central vacuole

The cell wall is a rigid structure that surrounds the cells and allows plants to stay upright.  Animal cells are more fluid.

The central vacuole is a large region in the cell that stores nutrients and fluids.  Many cells, including animal cells, contain vacuoles, but most are small, and only plant cells contain large central vacuoles.

Hope this helps!!
