Question

Evaluate the differences between the two images, and consider the significance of those differences. What evolutionary question is better addressed by the ring-shaped phylogenetic tree (a) as opposed to the more typical, single-trunk phylogenetic tree (b)? a What was the single organism from which all other forms of life on Earth arose? b Did animals evolve from fungi? c In which species of eukaryote did chloroplasts first appear? d Did horizontal gene transfer likely influence the evolution of the three domains of life?
