In Phylogeny A, there are 4 total changes that resulted in 4 different species. In Phylogenies B and C, there are still 4 total species represented, however, they take 6 and 8 changes, respectively, to create them.

The taxonomic Supergroups of life are a work in progress which attempt to hypothesize on the relatedness of life's major groups. Currently this phylogeny includes a non-dichotomously branching clade with three different branches connecting to one node.

D) polyphyletic clade E) all of the abovearrow_forward
