That different organisms are able to adapt to the same environment.
Homologous structure
Common traits with other organisms
It implies common ancestry.
If organisms have similar genes, then they are closely related.
The phylogenetic system of classification was proposed by the German biologist and naturalist, Ernst Haeckel, in the 19th century. He aimed to group organisms based on their evolutionary relationships and common ancestry rather than just physical similarities.
Cladistics is a method of classifying organisms by common ancestry.
Simularities in DNA sequence
That different organisms are able to adapt to the same environment.
Homologous structure
Common traits with other organisms
It implies common ancestry.
If organisms have similar genes, then they are closely related.
Simply common ancestry in the organisms possessing the homologous structures. Compare your arm to your dog or cats forelegs and see common ancestry as they match, bone for bone.
that all organisms are linked by common ancestry
homologous structures
We all current life has a single common ancestor.
