looking at the phylogenetic tree, which three statements can you make about the interconnectedness of the species a, b, c, d, and e?

1. species a and c may have shared features from a common ancestor.

2. species c is more related to species d than species d is related to species e.

3. species b and c are more closely related than species c and d.

4. species b and e may have shared features from a common ancestor.

5. species a is more related to species b than species b is related to species c.

Option 1, 4 and 5

Explanation:

In a phylogenetic tree, the species which emerge from the same node are more closely related as compared to the other parallel species originating from the same ancestors but at a different node.

Hence, species A is more closely related to species B as compared to the relation between B and C. Option 5 is correct

Both the species B and E will share some characteristics as they have evolved from the same ancestors, though they do not emerge from the same node. Thus, option 4 is also correct.

Similarly A and C have some common characteristics. Thus, option 1 is correct

slitherio is the original. its the best friend of all middle schoolers. the man you can count any time you have some free time. slitherio is the guy you hang with while you're in the computer lab suppose to be doing "research or whatever". slitherio isn't just a game but a friend.

wormaxio is just a fake trying to squeeze its way into the friend group. trying to pretend its cool and your best pal but how long has it really been there for you, really. it only wants you as friend to boost its social status. wormaxio is just annoying fake pleb. no offense

you and have a wonderful day
