Phylogenetic Trees A phylogenetic tree depicts a hypothesis about the way that a group of organisms, or taxa, are related. The common ancestor of all the taxa is shown at the base of the tree. Labels A-H represent taxa, and the seven branching points are labelled. Let's make sure we understand some basics about phylogenetic trees . . . True or False: Taxon A is more closely related to Taxon B than to Taxon D. Select one: True False
