WHAT DOES DIPHYLETIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

diphyletic

Paraphyly

Paraphyly is a characteristic of some groups of organisms and families of languages, where one separates from other groups at a common origin point. In phylogenetics and in linguistics, a group is said to be paraphyletic if it consists of all the descendants of the last common ancestor of the group's members minus a small number of monophyletic groups of descendants, typically just one or two such groups. Such a group is said to be paraphyletic with respect to the excluded groups. For example, the group of reptiles, as traditionally defined, is paraphyletic with respect to the mammals and birds: it contains the last common ancestor of the reptiles—including the extant reptiles as well as the extinct mammal-like reptiles—along with all descendants of that ancestor except for mammals and birds. Other commonly recognized paraphyletic groups include fish and lizards.

Definition of diphyletic in the English dictionary

The definition of diphyletic in the dictionary is relating to or characterized by descent from two ancestral groups of animals or plants.
