In order to determine the "root" of the eukaryote phylogenetic tree, scientists should ________.
A) compare the myosin genes in amoebozoans and opisthokonts
B) compare the sequences of chloroplast genes of green algae and plants
C) sequence more nuclear genes in green algae and plants
D) sequence more nuclear genes in slime molds and other unikonts

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sequencing more nuclear genes in slime molds and other unikonts can provide insights into the early branching events in the eukaryotic tree, helping to determine the root of the eukaryote phylogenetic tree.
