A group of species that consists of a common ancestor and all of its descendants (also referred to as a clade).
A group of species that consists of a common ancestor and all of its descendants.
A group of species that consists of a common ancestor and all of its descendants.
If the origin of a particular species in its phylogeny is from more than one source , the resultant group of organisms will be known as polyphyletic group.
A group of species that consists of a common ancestor and all of its descendants (also referred to as a clade).
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.

The Base of the diagram
There was a single transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats
It's a trait common in a single monophyletic group,but not generally found outside of that group.

No
The animal kingdom is considered monophyletic, meaning that all animals share a common ancestor and are descended from a single evolutionary lineage. This is supported by genetic and morphological evidence that shows the similarities in their characteristics and evolutionary history.
Monophyletic groups in the tree of life. Must be an ancestor and all of its descendants (monophyletic).
A group of accounts.
Molds belong to the kingdom Fungi, and are classified in the division Ascomycota or Zygomycota. They are further categorized into various orders and families based on their morphological characteristics and reproductive structures. Common genera of mold include Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Alternaria.
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.
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.
