Homologous structures in organisms suggest that the organisms?
share a common ancestor. These structures are similar in form and function but may have evolved to serve different purposes in different species due to natural selection. The presence of homologous structures supports the theory of evolution.
What are convergent traits?
Convergent traits are characteristics that have evolved independently in different species to serve a similar function. These traits are not inherited from a common ancestor but have evolved due to similar environmental pressures. An example of convergent traits is the wings of birds and insects, which have evolved independently for flight.
Branching diagram showing evolutionary change?
A branching diagram, or phylogenetic tree, is used to depict the evolutionary relationships between different organisms. It shows how organisms have evolved from a common ancestor and diverged into different species over time. The branches represent speciation events, where new species arise from a common ancestral species. Phylogenetic trees are constructed based on shared characteristics and genetic similarities between organisms.
Why do organisms in different kingdom have similar or different characteristics?
You find similar groups of animals and planting living together because of the environment that they are in. If you are in a forest, many of the same animals are going to be close to one another to help protect each other.
How can 2 organisms have the same ancestor?
It's a complicated answer. Every living organism on the planet can trace its roots all the way back to one organism -primitive precambrian bacteria. A colony of bacteria was probably separated into two colonies which were then isolated. Both groups were probably faced with different environmental challenges. Only the bacteria with the adaptations that kept them from dying survived long enough to split themselves and reproduce. That's how evolution works. Every time a group of organisms is isolated and each one is relocated in has different environmental factors, only the ones with the right stuff will make it. Eventually the separate groups will evolve into completely different species as their helpful adaptations are amplified through the generations, but the original group from which they both came is their common ancestor. I'm not sure if I explained that clearly enough, but that is how different organisms share a common ancestor.
When similar characteristics in different organisms have evolved independently of one another is it called?
wieners.

Species that have evolved from a common ancestor should have certain characteristics in common?
true.
Should species that have evolved from a common ancestor have certain characteristics in common?
true.
What does a rhino have now that it didn't have before evolution?
The answer to the question is: everything.Evolution didn't start with rhino's. Rhino's evolved from prior organisms, which in turn evolved from yet different organisms, all the way back to the origin of life.For instance, the rhinoceros share an ancestor with modern tapirs. The horn of the rhinoceros evolved as the ancestors of modern tapirs and rhinoceroses diverged. But rhinoceroses and tapirs share a more distant ancestor with horses, and have developed many more unique morphological characteristics since the onset of that divergence.
What are convergent traits?
Convergent traits are characteristics that have evolved independently in different species to serve a similar function. These traits are not inherited from a common ancestor but have evolved due to similar environmental pressures. An example of convergent traits is the wings of birds and insects, which have evolved independently for flight.
What shows which characteristics organisms share and when they evolved?
branching diagram
Did animals evolve from plants, or is there a separate evolutionary path for each kingdom?
Animals and plants have separate evolutionary paths. They both evolved from a common ancestor but took different paths in their development. Plants evolved from ancient photosynthetic bacteria, while animals evolved from multicellular organisms that were different from plants.

Phylogenetic trees are constructed based on shared characteristics and genetic similarities between organisms.
A species from which two or more species diverged?
A common ancestor is a species from which two or more descendant species have evolved through the process of speciation. The descendant species can exhibit different traits and characteristics due to adaptation to different environments or selection pressures over time.
What considers characteristics that have arisen as lineages of organisms have evolved over time?
Unanswerable.
How could two species that evolved on different continents have many similarities?
A common ancestor.
