Hello everyone here we have a question saying the figure below shows the phyllo genetic tree of living coordinates based on the above philo genetic tree. Which one is a true statement? A landslip are the most recent court date. This is incorrect. Landslip are the most basil group, meaning they're the earliest divergent group within a clade. So A. Is incorrect. B. 10 tickets give rise to land slips. This is incorrect because tuna kits arrive from arise from landslides. It's the other way around. See living vertebrates are the most basil group. Vertebrates are right here. So that is not the most basil group. That would be the earliest diverging group within a clade. So C. Is incorrect. D the cyclo cyclo stones and the nafta stones are derived from living coordinates. This is correct. So our answer here is the thank you for watching. Bye.
