We classify based on characteristics and structures…

How do we show these differences amongst the six kingdoms graphically?

Phylogenetic Trees

A phylogenetic tree is a branching diagram that shows relationships amongst various biological species and their kingdoms. This is done by comparing similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics.
