572f46d8947a6a140053c856 | Basal angiosperms are what type of grouping of primitive species? | paraphyletic | [
"Flowering_plant\n\nRecent studies, as by the APG, show that the monocots form a monophyletic group (clade) but that the dicots do not (they are paraphyletic). Nevertheless, the majority of dicot species do form a monophyletic group, called the eudicots or tricolpates. Of the remaining dicot species, most belong to... |
