The branching pattern of a phylogenetic tree indicates whether taxa are closely or distantly related relative to other taxa in the tree. Use this phylogenetic tree to determine whether each statement is .A. trueB. false.

In the statement The branching pattern of a phylogenetic tree indicates whether taxa are closely or distantly related relative to other taxa in the tree is true.

Explanation:

The phylogenetic tree is a diagram that represents the relationship between organisms. The branching pattern pf phylogenetic tree shows how the species or group developed from a series of common ancestors.

In trees the two species are more related if they have a more common ancestor and less related if they have less common ancester.

A phylogenetic tree shows the relationship between biological species or entities phlylogeny.

Phylogeny is the relationship among  organisms that are determined by the genetical and anatomical comparisons.
