Derived Character
A derived trait is a characteristic that is present in an organism, group of organisms, or species as a result of evolutionary changes or adaptations from its ancestral form. It is a feature or attribute that has evolved over time and is unique to a particular lineage or group of organisms.
An autapomorph is an organism which possesses a derived trait which is unique to a particular taxon.
In evolutionary biology, a derived trait is a new characteristic that has evolved in a species, while an ancestral trait is a trait that has been inherited from a common ancestor. Derived traits are unique to a particular species and can help distinguish it from others, while ancestral traits are shared among related species.
One unique trait that can be used to construct a cladogram is the presence or absence of feathers in birds. This trait can help to distinguish between different groups of birds and how they are related evolutionarily.
A new trait a derived trait
Yes it is a Derived trait because hemochorial placenta is not an ancestal trait.
A cladogram will show the genus and family of organisms and the offshoots of these said organisms including those that no longer exist in the present day.
A derived character is a trait that is shared by organisms with a recent common ancestor. It is also called as shared character.
no
Derived traits are traits that appeared in the most recent common ancestor of the group and was passed on to it's decedents. Ancestral traits are inherited directly from the ancestor
