Phylogenetic tree

A phylogenetic tree is a tree showing the evolutionary interrelationships among various species or other entities that are believed to have a common ancestor. A phylogenetic tree is a form of a cladogram.

With such information, one can reconstruct an evolutionary history of the molecule and thus of their respective owners. This requires ...
A phylogenetic tree is the history of life through time. And a cladogram is a branching diagram, usually shown as a kind of a cone-like structure, that shows how the animals are related to each other without reference to time.
A phylogenetic tree of all living things, based on rRNA gene data, showing the separation of the three domains bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes as described initially by Carl Woese.
A dichotomous phylogenetic tree that branches repeatedly, suggesting a classification of organisms based on the time sequence in which evolutionary branches arise.

reticulation -- Joining of separate lineages on a phylogenetic tree, generally through hybridization or through lateral gene transfer. Fairly common in certain land plant clades; reticulation is thought to be rare among metazoans.

genome, and thus each copy of the gene could diverge independently. Because paralogous genes can vary within a species as much as between species, such genes are useful tools for studying protein evolution but not for constructing phylogenetic trees.
The graphic representation of a phylogeny is called a phylogenetic tree. Punctuated equilibrium: the belief that evolution proceeds by spurts of change interspersed with long periods of stasis (genetic stability) where selection favors no change.
