the category in the taxonomic classification system that falls within kingdom and includes classes

the science of determining the evolutionary relationships of organisms
Verticales
two lineages that diverged from the same branch point
the category in the taxonomic classification system that falls within class and includes families

describing a phylogenetic tree with a single ancestral lineage to which all organisms represented in the diagram relate
a single level in the taxonomic classification system
the study of how selective forces change the allele frequencies in a population over time
a structure that is similar because of descent from a common ancestor
a magnification of genetic drift in a small population that migrates away from a large parent population carrying with it an unrepresentative set of alleles
the category in the taxonomic classification system that falls within domain and includes phyla
the most specific category of classification
the category in the taxonomic classification system that falls within order and includes genera
