A(n) is a group of species that includes an ancestral species and all of its descendants. 5. distinguish clades and thus branch points in the tree of life. 6. The use of DNA and other molecules to determine evolutionary relationships is called .

It is the independent evolution of likely features in species of seperates periods or epochs in time. It develops an analogous structures thatshow a look alike form or function but were absent in the previous common ancestor of those groups

3. Analogy

It deals with similarity of function and superficial appearance of body form that have possess distinct origins. E.g. the wings of a fly, a moth, and a bird are analogous since they are formed independently as adaptations to a perform an activity—flying

4. monophyletic group

It is made up of all the descendants of a common ancestor. It distinctly has shared derived characteristics, which groups species in the clade from other species

5. Shared derived characters

A shared character is the similarities between two lineages , and a derived character is the evolved in the lineage that forms and distinguishes a clade. Shared derived characters is employed to classify organisms into clades

6. Molecular systematics

This employs molecular genetics to obsereve the evolution of relationships between organisms. It gives knowledge into the organisms history and how its evolution could have formed diversity among organisms.

the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences - given and explained below

1. phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species or group of species.

It has to do with the evolutionary history and relationships within individuals or groups of organisms

2. convergent evolution can produce similarities in body form when similar environments and natural selection have favored similar adaptations.

It is the independent evolution of likely features in species of separate periods or epochs in time.

3. Distinguishing between homology, which reflects common ancestry, and analogy, which does not, is critical in determining evolutionary relationships

The similarity of function and superficial appearance of body form that have possess distinct origins

4. A(n) monophyletic group is a group of species that includes an ancestral species and all of its descendants.

made up of all the descendants of a common ancestor.

5. derived characters distinguish clades and thus branch points in the tree of life.

A shared character is the similarities between two lineages, and a derived character is the evolution in the lineage that forms and distinguishes a clade.

6. The use of DNA and other molecules to determine evolutionary relationships is called molecular systematics.

molecular genetics to observe the evolution of relationships between organisms.
