  3. Phylogenetic relationships are shown as branching trees where a branch point represents the divergence of two       when they shared a common           (homology).





     
     
     
     
    •                similarity can be misleading due to             evolution.

  4. Shared ancestry and shared          characters are drawn on a            to show evolutionary relationships; this practice is called             .
