Which of the following is FALSE regarding phylogenetic trees?
1) The branch lengths on the tree are scaled to molecular (DNA) changes and/or time.
2)Phylogenetic trees have shown us that there is much more bacterial diversity compared to eukaryotes.
3) Phylogenetic trees show the evolutionary relatedness of different organisms.
4). The branch lengths on the tree depict abiotic and biotic factors affecting speciation.

b. Cell wall structure and physical appearance
c. Reproductive rate and susceptibility to pesticides
d. Entire genome sequence and protein expression data
