Phylogenetic tree
represents a hypothesis about evolutionary relationships
relationships are represented by a series of dichotomies (branch points)
sister taxa: group of organisms that share an immediate common ancestor (branch point)
branch points within the tree represents the last common ancestor of all taxa in the tree

Polytomy: branch point with more than 2 descendant groups.

Limitations of phylogenetic tree:
Does not tell us when a species arose How much genetic change occurred in each
evolutionary step May not tell us the exact ancestral species
![Page 9: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Application of phylogeny:
Agriculture and plant breeding Investigation of poaching Forensic and bioterrorism
![Page 10: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Homology: similarities due to shared ancestry
![Page 11: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Analogy: similarity due to convergent evolution Homoplasies: Analogous structures; similarities
arose independently
![Page 12: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is the relationship between wings of birds, wings of bats and forelimbs of cats?
![Page 13: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Morphological and molecular homologies:
Organisms that share very similar morphologies or similar DNA sequences are likely to be more closely related than organisms with vastly different structures or sequences.
![Page 14: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Molecular systematics: Using molecular data to determine evolutionary relationships.
![Page 15: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Genes: sequences of thousands of nucleotides.
If genes in two organisms share many portions of their nucleotide sequences, it is highly likely that the genes are homologous.

Cladistics: Systematics using common ancestry as the primary criterion.
Clades: groups of species that have been sorted according to common ancestry. Like taxa clades reside within larger clades.
![Page 17: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Shared ancestral character: character that originated in an ancestor of the group
Shared derived character: evolutionary novelty unique to a particular group.
![Page 18: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Outgroup: species or a group of species from an evolutionary lineage that is known to have diverged before the lineage that is being studied.
Ingroup: species included in the group being studied.
![Page 19: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Outgroups and ingroups are determined on the basis of morphology, paleontology, embryonic development, gene sequences
To determine various branch points in a phylogenetic tree we compare members of ingroups to each other and to members of outgroups as well.

Principle of maximum parsimony: first investigate the simplest explanation that is consistent with the facts Occam’s razor: shaving away unnecessary
complications – minimalist problem solving approach.
Maximum likelihood: the phylogenetic tree that reflects the simplest explanation of DNA change
![Page 24: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Gene families and gene duplication:
Gene families: groups of related genes within an organisms genome resulting from repeated duplication.
Orthologous genes: homologous genes found in different species due to speciation.
Paralogous genes: more than one copy of a gene in the same genome
![Page 25: Phylogeny and the Tree of Life Chapter 26. Systematics: Discipline focused on classification of organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ee65503460f94bf5d4b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Three domain system: All organisms are classified into three domains –
Bacteria: currently known prokaryotes Archaea: very diverse group of prokaryotes,
variety of habitats including extreme ones Eukarya: All organisms that have cells with true
nuclei (single-celled or multicellular)

Horizontal gene transfer: genes are transferred through transposable elements, viral infection, plasmids.
According to some scientists – to represent extensive horizontal gene transfer in early organisms, a ring is a better representation than a dichotomous tree
