8. Label the phylogenetic tree and answer the questions. a. Place A on the tree at the location of the common ancestor for all taxa shown on the tree. b. Place B on the tree at the location of the most recent common ancestor for frogs and lizard. c. Place C on the tree at the location of the most recent common ancestor for frogs and humans. d. Place D on the tree at the location of the most recent common ancestor for lizard and humans. e. Assuming the tree provided reflects the true evolutionary history among these organisms, discuss the evolutionary relatedness among frogs, lizards, and human Is the frog more closely related to the lizard or the human? Explain.

Evolutionary lineages

An evolutionary lineage is a series of populations of organisms that descend from a common ancestor. Each species in the lineage is the direct consequence of evolutionary change from a common ancestor. A phylogenetic tree is generally used to display lineages visually. Lineages are components of the phylogenetic tree of life. Molecular systematics procedures are widely used to predict lineages.
