Solution
Phylogenetic tree:
A phylogenetic tree, also known as phylogeny, is a diagrammatic representation of how various species, animals, or genes descended from a common ancestor.
A phylogenetic tree can be used to track a species' common ancestors back through evolutionary history.
Morphological, biochemical, behavioral, or molecular traits of species or other categories can be used to construct a phylogenetic tree.
The branches, nodes, and roots are phylogenetic tree components.
Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya are the three domains of the global phylogenetic tree.
