Chapter 13, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The types of information used to hypothesize the relation of species to one another by the descent from a shared ancestor and to give an example that includes multiple types of evidence supporting each other.
Concept Introduction:
The descent with modification is the term for the summated processes of the evolution. This implies that the present species have descent from the common ancestors with the modifications caused by the environmental factors for the survival. This results in the diversification of the species, which is visible at the present time.

Students have asked these similar questions
Does the use of DNA sequences in the study of evolutionary relationships mean that other characteristics are unimportant in such studies? Discuss what other forms of evidence you may still want to use, along with when and why those other forms of evidence would be especially helpful.
Why don’t shared ancestral characters provide evidence for relationships between organisms within a taxon that has those traits? Give an example.
Does this figure illustrate a strength or a drawback of using morphological traits to establish species?
