Detailed explanation-1: -A phylogenetic tree, also known as a phylogeny, is a diagram that depicts the lines of evolutionary descent of different species, organisms, or genes from a common ancestor.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a phylogenetic tree, the species of interest are shown at the tips of the tree’s branches. The branches themselves connect up in a way that represents the evolutionary history of the species-that is, how we think they evolved from a common ancestor through a series of divergence (splitting-in-two) events.
