Phylogenetic Represents Common Trees Cladograms Node Lines Meet

In phylogenetic trees and cladograms, a node signifies a common ancestor where speciation occurred, and the root represents the common ancestor of all species.

Em árvores filogenéticas e cladogramas, um nó representa um ancestral comum onde ocorreu a especiação, e a raiz representa o ancestral comum de todas as espécies.

Text In phylogenetic trees and cladograms, a node is where two lines meet and represents a common ancestor.  This is where speciation has occurred.  The root represents the common ancestor of all species on the phylogenetic tree or cladogram.
