When classifying organisms a monophyletic group includes?
A group of species that consists of a common ancestor and all of its descendants (also referred to as a clade).
Are protists monophyletic polyphyletic or paraphyletic?
Protists are a paraphyletic group because animals, fungi, and plants are the crown groups evolved from different lineages of the protists. They aren't included in the same group as protists taxonomically. This explains why the cladists consider the protist a paraphyletic group.
What term is most likely associated with clade?
monophyletic
What does nucleotides consist of a phosphate group?

What is synapomorphy?
It's a trait common in a single monophyletic group,but not generally found outside of that group.

How do you identify clades?
Monophyletic groups in the tree of life. Must be an ancestor and all of its descendants (monophyletic).
What does General ledger consist of?
A group of accounts.
Taxonomy for mold?
Molds refer to a large number of indistinct types of fungi; they are not a monophyletic group and thus an accurate taxonomic evaluation beyond the kingdom Fungi is not possible.
Are protists monophyletic polyphyletic or paraphyletic?
Protists are a paraphyletic group because animals, fungi, and plants are the crown groups evolved from different lineages of the protists. They aren't included in the same group as protists taxonomically. This explains why the cladists consider the protist a paraphyletic group.
Why is the kingdom animalia polyphyletic and not monophyletic?
Its not polyphyletic, its monophyletic. There are no points where members stop being animals. Many mistake Porifera (sponges) as an exception, but they are animals too.
What term is most likely associated with clade?
