A phylogenetic tree is a diagram that illustrates ancestral relationships. It can be used to show the evolutionary relationships between organisms. See the figure below for some examples of phylogenetic trees. Vertebrate phylogenetic tree: Jawless fish Cartilaginous fish Bony fish Amphibians Reptiles Birds Mammals In the space below, create your own phylogenetic tree of amino acid side chains.
