What is the difference between a species phylogenetic tree and a gene family tree? What relationships are being examined in each type of tree, discuss the sources of data used to make each of these kinds of trees, and what can be learned from a species tree vs. a gene family tree. providing about a page of text

Step 1
However, they differ in the type of relationships they represent and the data sources used to construct them. A **species phylogenetic tree** represents the evolutionary relationships among different species. It is based on the concept that all species have Show more…

What is the difference between a gene tree and a species tree? Explain in your own words how it is possible for gorillas and humans to share a genetic trait (such as a retroviral insertion) that chimpanzees do not share, if chimpanzees and humans are really each other's closest relatives. Given the lack of agreement between gene trees and species trees, how is it possible to reconstruct the true species tree?

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.
