1 Renal failure may cause pulmonary edema as the kidneys are unable to filter out toxins in the blood. 2  Smoke inhalation may cause severe inflammation of the lung tissue, which results in fluid accumulation in the lungs.  Lymphatic insufficiency result in inadequate drainage of lymph fluid.
Phylogenetic trees are constructed in a variety of ways to summarize the evolutionary relatedness of different organisms. The data represented in a phylogenetic tree may come from (but are not limited to) observations of an organisms anatomical features and/or molecular sequence information.ladistic analysis orders organisms along a phylogenetic tree in branches, and describes the extent of divergence between the branches. If the analysis is based on a molecular sequence alignment, two major computational approaches may be employed in order to construct a tree:
Terminology of phylogenetic trees. This is a bifurcating tree. The vertical lines, called branches, represent a lineage, and nodes are where they diverge, representing a speciation event from a common ancestor. The trunk at the base of the tree, is actually called the root. The root node represents the most recent common ancestor of all of the taxa represented on the tree. Time is also represented, proceeding from the oldest at the bottom to the most recent at the top. What this particular tree tells us is that taxon A and taxon B are more closely related to each other than either taxon is to taxon C.
