Which of the following is not true of all horizontally oriented phylogenetic trees, where time advances to the right?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. Each branch point represents a point in absolute time.
  2. Organisms represented at the base of such trees are ancestral to those represented at higher levels.
  3. The more branch points that occur between two taxa, the more divergent their DNA sequences should be.
  4. The common ancestor represented by the rightmost branch point existed more recently in time than the common ancestors represented at branch points located to the left.
