Questions: (Those numbers from 8-17 are easy to put in order, so everything is clear).

What are the biological taxa levels shown in this tree (kingdom, phylum, class, order, etc.)?
Which organism or group of organisms represents the outgroup for this phylogeny? What would be the outgroup if there is no outgroup in figure 5? Please explain:
How many taxa or taxon are more closely related to others? List all that can be found in the tree.
How many group types are represented by the grouping (monophyletic, polyphyletic, or paraphyletic)? Please list all of the groups in the correct order.
How many following taxa are formed in what type of grouping (monophyletic, paraphyletic, or polyphyletic) in this phylogeny? Please include all the taxon/grouping.
