What is a phylogenetic tree? Choose all that apply. - A representation of the tree of life. - A diagram of the evolutionary relationships between organisms. - The result of a cladistic analysis, or phylogenetic reconstruction. - A type of tree found only on the island of Camin. Question 2 What type of character similarities are indicative of common ancestry between organisms? Choose all that apply: - Convergent similarities. - Derived similarities. - Ancestral similarities.
Some organisms that appear very closely related on a phylogenetic tree may not actually be closely related. Why is this?
