7. a taxa that is closely related but not included in the taxa being analyzed
8. a group of organisms that cluster together
11. all of the life on this planet
12. when there is no resolution to determine which taxa is oldest/newest

15. efforts to preserve species and biodiversity

2. when the entire clade has one common ancestor
3. a central point in a phylogeny
4. a phylogeny with the least possible number of changes
5. using visible features to characterize a taxa
9. a statistical method that uses prior knowledge to find the most likely scenario
10. the biological concept is two individuals that can mate and create a viable offspring, but this concept is challenging in microbes
