What is a group of species that includes a single common ancestor and all descendents?
Unless life evolved multiple times on Earth all species share a common ancestor with each other. The list is for all practical purposes limitless. Humans and wolves Guinee Pigs and Wales Cock Roaches and Mice and so on.....
What is common descent?
Darwin's theory of common decent focuses on the proposition that those of common decent shared common ancestors. The theory also espouses the last universal decent from which all life descended.
What were Charles Darwin's concepts?
Charles Darwin's theories are known as Darwinism. His most well-known theory is his Theory of Evolution which states that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers.
What led Darwin to believe that organisms originate from a common ancestor?
Darwin observed that high birthrates and a shortage of life's necessities forced organisms into a constant "struggle for existence", both against the environment and against each other is which led Darwin to propose his theory of constitution
Do humans descend from gorillas?
No, we are not descended from chimps, and no one believes that we are. *********************** It's an interesting question, since all life on earth comes from the first living organisms on the planet. Therefore, you could say that we are related to chimps, as we probably have a common ancestor, however we don't "descend" from them. If you are interested in evolution I recommend reading Darwin's "Origin of species".

What was LU-CA?
LUCA stands for Last Universal Common Ancestor, the last organism that is the common ancestor of all life on Earth.
Do birds and reptiles share a common ancestor?
Yes. If you go back far enough, all life on Earth shares a common ancestor.
What was LUCA in biology?
LUCA stands for Last Universal Common Ancestor. It is a hypothetical organism that is considered to be the most recent common ancestor of all life on Earth. LUCA is believed to have existed billions of years ago and is the origin of the tree of life.
Is there no evidence of a common ancestor?
There is ample evidence of a common ancestor for all life on Earth, known as the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA). This is supported by various lines of evidence, including genetic similarities, shared biochemical pathways, and the universal presence of certain biomolecules across diverse species.
The fact that all organisms have DNA as their genetic material is evidence that?
all organisms share a common evolutionary ancestry. The universal presence of DNA suggests a common genetic code that has been inherited from a common ancestor. This supports the theory of evolution and the idea that all living things are connected through a shared genetic history.
If you compare organisms with similar characteristics what indicates recent their common ancestor probably is?
The more similar the genes and traits of the organisms are, the more recent their common ancestor is likely to be. The presence of shared genetic sequences or homologous structures can also indicate a more recent common ancestor. Additionally, proximity in the evolutionary tree of life and geographic proximity can also suggest a recent common ancestor.

How long ago did bacteria and archaebacteria diverge from a common ancestor?
It is believed by many that the archaea and bacteria developed separately from a common ancestor nearly 4 billion years ago.
What are species that share a very distant common ancestor?
An example of species that share a very distant common ancestor are humans and yeast. Despite belonging to different kingdoms (Animalia and Fungi), they share a common ancestor that existed over a billion years ago. This distant relationship underscores the vast diversity of life on Earth.
Are life forms related why?
Life forms are indeed related. The reason is due to all life forms starting out with a single, unicellular common ancestor, with that common creature radiating into multiple forms to take advantage of its environment.
Why do scientist believe that all life on earth evolved from a singe celled ancestor?
Scientists believe that all life on Earth evolved from a single-celled ancestor because of the similarities found in the genetic code and cellular structure of all living organisms. This suggests a common origin and shared ancestry. Additionally, the gradual changes observed in the fossil record and the patterns of biodiversity support the idea of evolution from a common ancestor.
