Part 2: Terminology: Anatomy of a phylogenetic tree

From the root to the tips, Professor Michael Charleston explores common features of phylogenetic trees. He explains how these features relate to evolutionary patterns and how outgroups can be used to find the root or common ancestor of extant species.
