They exist because all these genes have descended from the genes of common ancestors.
Seahorses evolved their upright posture some 35 million years ago. The pygmie pipefish is a common ancestor to the seahorse.
They exist because all these genes have descended from the genes of common ancestors.
Calculate probability and if you mean factor tree diagram, it can find the prime factors of any number.
Humans share a common ancestor with apes and monkeys. Apes and monkeys are more like our cousins than our grandparents. Thus present day monkeys can not be our ancestors, humans can not be evolved from monkeys.
Because they are - they eat and move and breathe and are made of animal cells (nucleus, mitochondria, no chloroplasts). They evolved from the common ancestor of animals. They are animals in everything.
As a result, it made no sense to ask how organisms have evolved through time. Similarly, it was inconceivable that two animals or plants may have had a common ancestor or that extinct species may have been ancestors of modern ones.
Common ancestors are the ancestors you and a relative of yours have in common. For example, your first cousin and you have the same grandparents. The grandparents are your and your first cousins common ancestors.
Orangutans, chimpanzees and humans are all bipeds, meaning they walk on two feet. They are all mammals and they all evolved from common ancestors.
