🌳Phylogeny is a method to understand the diversity of life by tracing the evolutionary history of species.
🔗A phylogenetic tree represents the relationships between different species based on common ancestry.
🦖Homologous structures are similar in organisms because of inheritance from a common ancestor.
🤝Analogous structures are similar in organisms due to convergent evolution, not common ancestry.
📚Analyzing homologous and analogous structures helps biologists infer the phylogeny of organisms.
