DNA sequence data for a diplomonad, a euglenid, a plant, and an unidentified protist suggest that the unidentified species is most closely related to the diplomonad. Further studies reveal that the unknown species has fully functional mitochondria. Based on these data, at what point on the phylogenetic tree in Figure 1 did the mystery protist’s lineage probably diverge from other eukaryote lineages? Explain.

Microbes

Microbes are microscopic living organisms that can only be detected with the help of specialized laboratory equipment called a microscope. These living organisms are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye.
