None of the responses are completely accurate. A phylogenetic tree is arranged based on evolutionary relationships, with the most closely related organisms grouped together and the most distantly related organisms placed farther apart. The branching pattern of the tree represents the sequence of evolutionary events, with the common ancestor at the base of the tree and the descendants at the tips of the branches. The direction of time is not necessarily indicated by the tree, as some branches may represent extinct lineages. Therefore, the most accurate answer would be that a phylogenetic tree is arranged based on evolutionary relationships, not chronologically or phenotypically.

Rosetta Bush is correct but I just got one answer wrong on number three but overall she/hes right ty

Thank you<3
