- 1Convergent EvolutionConvergent evolution describes the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages.
- 2Analogy vs HomologyWhile both of these categories have to do with how similar body parts of different organisms are used and structured, only one is actually an indication of a common ancestor somewhere in the past. Which is homology.
- 3SystematicTaxonomy:study of the diversification of living forms, both past and present, and the relationships among living things through time.
- 4Taxona group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.
- 5Cladograma diagram used in cladistics which shows relations among organisms. A cladogram is not, however, an evolutionary tree because it does not show how ancestors are related to descendants
- 6CladeA clade or monophylum is a group consisting of an ancestor and all its descendants, a single "branch" on the "tree of life". The ancestor may be an individual, a population or even a species.
- 7Parsimonysimplest of competing explanations is the most likely to be correct.
- 8rRNA vs mtDNArRNA:RNA component of the ribosome, and is essential for protein synthesis in all living organisms.
mtDNA:DNA located in mitochondria; cellular organelles within eukaryotic cells that convert chemical energy from food into a form that cells can use
- 9Monophyletica taxon which forms a clade, meaning that it consists of an ancestral species and all its descendants. The term is synonymous with the uncommon term holophyly.
