👉 Phylogenes, or "phylogenes," are biological terms that refer to evolutionary relationships between living organisms. These relationships are based on shared genetic material and patterns of gene duplication and evolution over time. In biology and genetics, a phylogenetic tree is a diagrammatic representation of the evolutionary relationships among organisms, showing how one species evolved from another. The branches of the tree represent different evolutionary stages and include specific genes or traits that distinguish between them. Phylogenetics involves studying these relationships to
