Definition von phylogenetic tree im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

A tree diagram that represents hypothesised phylogenetic (not tokogenetic) relationships between groups of organisms

A graph illustrating evolutionary relationships among various entities (most often taxonomic groups) that are known to share a common ancestor

A phylogenetic tree or evolutionary tree is a branching diagram or "tree" showing the inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities based upon similarities and differences in their physical and/or genetic characteristics

Diagram showing the evolutionary interrelations of a group of organisms that usually originated from a shared ancestral form. The ancestor is in the tree trunk; organisms that have arisen from it are placed at the ends of tree branches. The distance of one group from the other groups indicates the degree of relationship; that is, closely related groups are located on branches close to one another. Though phylogenetic trees are speculative, they provide a convenient method for studying phylogenetic relationships and evolution. See also phylogeny
