Question
Chapter 26.2, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
If three layers in the Bilateriaa shared derived character or a shared primitive character.
Introduction:
Phylogenetics can be described as the study of the evolutionary history of an organism and its relationship with other
With respect to phylogenetics and systematics, a shared primitive character is that character that is shared by members of a clade, that originated in an ancestor that is not a member of that clade. Shared derived character is that character that has an evolutionary uniqueness that is distinctive to a clade, it is not inherited from ancestors.
