What else can I help you with?
Which of the following is true about the supergroups and a common ancestor?
Scientists know that the supergroups do not share a single common ancestor but do not know where in time they branch off from each other:)
What is our evidence of Luca, the common ancestor that we can link all living organisms to?
Scientists have identified Luca as the Last Universal Common Ancestor, or the common ancestor of all living organisms. Evidence for Luca comes from the study of genetic material and the similarities found in the genetic code of different species.
What does a branch point in a cladogram represent?
The branch point in a cladogram represents a specific ancestor that is separated into two or more species. For example a leopard and a house cat share a common ancestor. A similar example is that a wolf shares a common ancestor with the leopard's and house cat's ancestor but the wolf's ancestor lived longer than the leopard's and house cat's ancestor. Scientists use something called cladistics to determine the one common ancestor that multiple species have in common.
What similarities in development lead scientists to infer that opossums chickens salamanders and fish share a common ancestor?
something to do with embryology
What similarities in development lead scientists to infer turtles chickens and rats share a common ancestor?
They look similar at birth
What are the similar body structures in different species tell scientists?
Back down the line, the species came from a common ancestor.
How would you know if organisms shared a common ancestor?
Scientists can determine if organisms share a common ancestor by analyzing their genetic and morphological similarities. The more similarities that exist, the more likely it is that they share a common ancestor. Additionally, the study of evolutionary relationships through techniques like phylogenetic analysis helps to trace back common ancestry among organisms.
What is a common example of an arthropod?
A grasshopper.
What is the common Ancestor of the horse and zebra and ass?
The common ancestor is the Hyracotherium
Why do scientists think arthropods and segmented worms have a common ancestor?
Scientists found that both segmented worms and arthropods have a hollow space in their bodies to hold their organs. They both also have larvae stages early on in their life cycle.
Type of hominid scientists believed was the common ancestor for several types of early humans?
Scientists believe that the common ancestor for several types of early humans, such as Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens, was a hominid known as Homo heidelbergensis. This species is thought to have lived in Africa around 700,000 years ago and eventually migrated to Europe and Asia.
When two structures of two species are very similar what can scientists infer about both species?
evolved from a common ancestor that also had the structure bg
