    Constructing a phylogenetic tree involves hypothesizing evolutionary relationships among species based on observable traits and genetic evidence. By practicing parsimony, we aim for the simplest explanation. This graphical representation helps determine relatedness and common ancestors, allowing us to understand the evolutionary history of different species.
    Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. We offer quizzes, questions, instructional videos, and articles on a range of academic subjects, including math, biology, chemistry, physics, history, economics, finance, grammar, preschool learning, and more.

      @Aliyah ZSB ​ My best guess is that he's one of those people in this emergent culture who loves to publicly express racism because he wants to "balance out" those who he believes cry wolf. Even if there are a lot of people crying wolf, it doesn't make much sense to me. It's also an effective mechanism to express his feelings without reproach if he genuinely is a racist. Just one man's interpretation, though.

    Question for this cladogram - doesn't everything to the right of the organism you are comparing have the same recent ancestor and have the same number of similar traits. Wouldn't this make each of those things equally related- for instance the sea bass and the eagle or the sea bass and the antelope. Both have the same most recent ancestor and have the same number of shared traits?

    • @peternyikos8020
      @peternyikos8020 Год назад

      The answer is Yes to "same recent ancestor"; this is exactly how cladists define "equally closely related," except they use the more precise designation Last Common Ancestor (LCA for short). The question "same number of shared traits" works for this highly simplified example with just four traits, but might fail in a tree where many more traits are included.

  • @rustyshackleford054
    @rustyshackleford054 6 месяцев назад

    Something I have never been able to wrap my head around with phylogenies - when there is a speciation event, on a phylogeny, we show that as a fork. And we always just say, "some common ancestor, species A" evolved into species B and C, which will be named. But we never can say who soecies A was. Do we actually ever know who species A was? And what if we do know who species A was and know the exact link from species A to species B? How do we show that on a phylogeny?

    Sir, could we also have the Cladogram as;
    1. The Lamprey branches off first because is does not share any characteristic with the rest of the organisms
    2. The Sea Bass is second because it has jaws as the others but lacks lungs
    3. The Antelope is third because it has lungs but lacks a Gizzard. However, it develops fur along the line
    4. The Bald eagle fourth because it has a Gizzard but developed feathers along the way
    5. Then, fifth will be the Alligator which remains on the main line of descent with the Gizzard
    I will appreciate your feedback
    Thank You

    • @MasterPigeonXD
      @MasterPigeonXD 6 лет назад +1

      Ndonga Patrick I got the same answer and I believe it is correct. You can pivot the node at 180 degrees (the pink one just after lungs evolved) and it will give you the same tree.

    • @pesenna
      @pesenna 6 лет назад +1

      This way is also correct. Actually you just rotated the position of the terminals of the tree but the relationships between them remains the same no matter how you rotate them, because in the end it represents the same phylogenetic tree.

      @rosakuhn5274 6 лет назад

      My understanding is that a phylogenetic tree describes the development of species from at least one common ancestor based on the descendence theory (=all species derive from one common ancestor). A cladogram shows the relationship between different species and the extent in which they are related. Which means that what was being drawn in the picture could have been both at the same time because both concepts do not contradict each other. Although there is a different type of phylogenetic tree which not only shows the relationship (as a cladogram does) but also the length of the lines represent the passed time. I am not sure what that one is calles though :)

    This confuses me. Do we not have tons or at least some fossil and genetic evidence to accurately place things where they belong? You keep stressing the hypothesis part but does not the fact we are so genetically identical to chimps help place us in phylo trees? You can do it strictly based on the traits but is the real phylo tree with accurate representations not actually being compiled slowly but surely scientists? We share Dna with all life on this planet, going back from bacteria to archaea and do on. Can we not now partly place many large divergences accurately? It may take mapping the genetic code of every species which is ridiculous there is quite possibly too much biodiversity, but do we not have some evidence? Is there no accuracy to what we are mapping? Humans share dna with bananas but much more dna with all mammals for example. Like how sibling are more closely related than cousins genetically. In reality and not hypothetical examples such as this do we not have some credence behind when scientists produce phylo trees.
