Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A phylotype is a group of organisms that share a specific genetic marker, such as a sequence of DNA. In this case, the thirty organisms all contain the same phylogenetic marker, indicating that they belong to the same phylotype. While they may also be part of the same species or functional group, these terms do not specifically address the genetic similarity indicated by the phylogenetic marker. A phylogenetic tree, on the other hand, is a graphical representation of the evolutionary relationships between different groups of organisms, and may include organisms from different phylotypes.
