Phylogenetic trees are a visual representation of the fact that species are related by descent from a common ancestor
Phylogeny Anagensis(phyletic evolution) - successional changes within a single lineage Cladogenesis (phylogenetic branching) - splits along ancestral line that cause species multiplication (ie. appearance of new clades, clusters of species)
homology - same feature in different species, derived from common ancestor parallelism - similar feature occurs in different species, but common ancestor was different convergence - similar feature arose independently in different species
Phylogeny Monophyletic - organisms derive from a single ancestral population Paraphyletic - does not include all descendents from the ancestral population Polyphyletic - organisms arrived independently at a particular grade of organization
Monophyletic Paraphyletic
Phylogeny Phenetics - applies numerical taxonomy to arranging groups into genera & higher ranks Cladistics - every significant evolutionary step marks a dichotomous branch Evolutionary classification - incorporates genealogical relationship between groups with evolutionary distance

Phenetics Phenograms do not necessarily represent phylogenetic relationships Similarity - number of character states 2 species share Relationship - how recently they diverged from a common ancestor
