<p>A phylogenetic tree or evolutionary tree&nbsp;is a branching diagram&nbsp;or &quot;tree&quot; showing the inferred evolutionary&nbsp;relationships among various biological species&nbsp;or other entities&mdash;their phylogeny&mdash;based upon similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Query</h2>
<p>&nbsp;A&nbsp;query&nbsp;is a form of questioning, in a line of inquiry</p>

<h2>Replicating Replication&nbsp;fork</h2>
<p>An Y shaped&nbsp;structure that forms within the nucleus during DNA replication. It is created by helicases, which break the hydrogen bonds holding the two DNA strands together.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Sequence assembly</h2>
 
<p>It refers to aligning&nbsp;and merging fragments from a longer DNA&nbsp;sequence in order to reconstruct the original sequence.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Sequencing</h2>
<p>The process of determining the nucloetide&nbsp;order of a given DNA&nbsp;fragment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Topology</h2>
 
<p>Topology&nbsp;is concerned with the properties of space that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, crumpling&nbsp;and bending, but not tearing or gluing.</p>
<h2>Taxa</h2>
 
<p>It is a plural of taxon. Taxon is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Variation</h2>
<p>Genetic variation means that biological systems &ndash; individuals and populations &ndash; are different over space.</p> <p>Each gene pool&nbsp;includes various alleles&nbsp;of genes. The variation occurs both within and among populations, supported by individual carriers of the variant genes.</p>
