If you were using cladistics to build a phylogenetic tree of cats, which of the following would be the best outgroup?
a) lion
b) domestic cat
c) wolf
d) leopard

many phylogenetic trees have a single lineage at the base representing a common ancestor. a lineage that evolved early from the root and remains unbranched is called basal taxon. when two lineages stem from the same branch point, they are called sister taxa.
