Thirty organisms containing the same phylogenetic marker, with identical or similar orthologous genes, are all considered to be within the same

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A phylotype refers to a group of organisms that share the same genetic marker or sequence. Therefore, if thirty organisms contain the same phylogenetic marker with identical or similar orthologous genes, they can be classified as one phylotype. This term is often used in microbial ecology to describe the diversity and distribution of specific microbial groups based on their genetic markers. The other options, such as species, functional group, and phylogenetic tree, do not fully describe the relationship among organisms based on their genetic markers or sequences.
