in a phylogenetic tree, nodes... - Answer are at each branch point, they represent divergence
of species.
polytomy - Answer an unresolved place of divergence
phylogenetic history can be inferred from similarities in....... and genes when compared among
organisms - Answer homologous structures
similar morphology + similar DNA sequences = - Answer closely related species
homoplasies - Answer analogous structures, may be due to convergent evolution and not
shared ancestry.
