Question

question 2 of 20 of life the phylogenetic tree shown in the figure indicates that bacteria is more closely related to eukarya than to archaea. indicates that archaea and eukarya share a more recent common ancestor than archaea and bacteria. is paraphyletic (does not include all the descendants of the single common ancestor). is polyphyletic (has multiple origins that do not share a common ancestor). indicates that bacteria and archaea share a more recent common ancestor than archaea and eukarya.

Explanation:

In a phylogenetic tree, the closer the branching - point of two groups, the more recent their common ancestor. The tree shows that Archaea and Eukarya have a closer branching - point compared to Archaea and Bacteria, indicating a more recent common ancestor between Archaea and Eukarya.

Answer:

indicates that Archaea and Eukarya share a more recent common ancestor than Archaea and Bacteria.
