Question
Chapter 23.2, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference between ancestral and derived similarities.
Introduction: The similarities and differences among the different groups of organisms are used to classify or categorize the species in different groups. The species are classified in different clades according to the similarity.
