Q

Supplemental Question:

What It Is: This refers to the physical traits and structures of organisms, such as body shape, size, skeletal features, and other observable characteristics.

How It’s Used: By comparing these traits across different species, scientists can hypothesize how these species might be related. Similarities in structure suggest common ancestry, while differences indicate evolutionary divergence.

Example: The presence of a backbone in animals might be used to group vertebrates together, while differences in the number of limbs or the shape of bones can help refine the relationships within that group.

What It Is: This refers to genetic information, such as DNA, RNA, or protein sequences. The molecular data helps scientists compare genetic similarities and differences at the molecular level.

How It’s Used: By comparing the DNA or protein sequences of different organisms, scientists can estimate how closely related they are. The more similar the sequences, the more recent their common ancestor is likely to be.

Example: Comparing the genetic sequence of a gene that is present in both humans and chimpanzees would show high similarity, supporting the idea that they share a recent common ancestor.
