Biology QUESTION #11121
Question 1
Phylogenetic relationships among organisms can best be presented using a:
  • Dendrogram✔️
  • GenBank
  • Data retrieving tool
  • Data search tool
Correct Answer Explanation
A dendrogram (specifically a phylogenetic tree or cladogram) is the standard graphical representation of evolutionary/phylogenetic relationships among organisms. Branch points (nodes) represent common ancestors; branch lengths may indicate time or genetic distance. Types include cladograms (topology only), phenograms (overall similarity), and phylograms (branch lengths proportional to genetic change). GenBank is a nucleotide sequence database, not a visualisation tool.
