Question
Chapter 12.5, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction
The term Phylogeny can be defined as the history of evolution or descent of pattern of a group of organisms from their ancestors. The phylogeny is conceptually represented by a branching diagram known as cladogram or a phylogenetic tree. The branch that deals with systematics inferring phylogeny are known as phylogenetic systematics or cladistics. The primary goal of phylogenetic systematics is to pattern the descent of a group of organisms.
