What is the most recent common ancestor on a phylogenetic tree and how does it contribute to understanding evolutionary relationships among different species?

The most recent common ancestor on a phylogenetic tree is the most recent species from which all other species on the tree have descended. Understanding this ancestor helps scientists trace the evolutionary relationships among different species and determine how they are related to each other through shared ancestry.

If you compare organisms with similar characteristics what indicates recent their common ancestor probably is?

The more similar the genes and traits of the organisms are, the more recent their common ancestor is likely to be. The presence of shared genetic sequences or homologous structures can also indicate a more recent common ancestor. Additionally, proximity in the evolutionary tree of life and geographic proximity can also suggest a recent common ancestor.


Which group of organisms would have the most recent common ancestor the members of a clade corresponding to a genus or the members of a clade corresponding to an order?

The group of organisms within a genus would have the most recent common ancestor compared to a group within an order. This is because a genus represents a subset of species that are more closely related and share a more recent common ancestor than the broader group represented by an order.
