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 fish monophyletic?
No, fish are not monophyletic. The term "fish" is a paraphyletic group because it includes some but not all descendants of a common ancestor. It does not include tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates such as amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) which share a more recent common ancestor with some fish species.
What term is most likely associated with clade?
monophyletic
What does nucleotides consist of a phosphate group?
The Base of the diagram

There was a single transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats
What is the difference between a clade and a monophyletic group in evolutionary biology?
In evolutionary biology, a clade is a group of organisms that includes an ancestor and all of its descendants. A monophyletic group is a type of clade that includes only the most recent common ancestor and all of its descendants. So, all monophyletic groups are clades, but not all clades are necessarily monophyletic groups.
What is synapomorphy?
It's a trait common in a single monophyletic group,but not generally found outside of that group.
What is a group called that includes an ancestor plus all its descendants?
monophyletic
Are echinoderms monophyletic or polyphyletic?
monophyletic
Are animals considered monophyletic or paraphyletic in the field of evolutionary biology?
In the field of evolutionary biology, animals are considered monophyletic, meaning they all share a common ancestor and form a single evolutionary group.
Are prokaryotes monophyletic?
Yes, prokaryotes are monophyletic, meaning they share a common evolutionary ancestor. This group includes bacteria and archaea, both of which are characterized by lacking a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
What characteristics define a monophyletic group or clade and how do they contribute to the evolutionary relationships within a specific taxonomic group?
A monophyletic group, or clade, includes an ancestor and all of its descendants. This grouping is based on shared evolutionary traits, called synapomorphies, which help determine the evolutionary relationships within a specific taxonomic group. By identifying these shared characteristics, scientists can better understand the evolutionary history and relatedness of different species within the group.
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).
The highlighted grouping in the cladogram is a grouping?
A monophyletic group, or a clade, where all members share a common ancestor and include all its descendants.
Are fish monophyletic?
No, fish are not monophyletic. The term "fish" is a paraphyletic group because it includes some but not all descendants of a common ancestor. It does not include tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates such as amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) which share a more recent common ancestor with some fish species.
What does General ledger consist of?
A group of accounts.
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.
