Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Any two groups of organisms will have only 1 most recent common ancestor. This is because every species has a unique evolutionary history and can only have one most recent common ancestor with another species. However, if the groups are more distantly related, they may have multiple common ancestors further back in time.
