Evolution + Cladograms

3. When a derived trait separates one organism from another it can also be called this on a cladogram.
7. When two organisms share the same node in a cladogram they can be called this.
8. This type of structure currently does not serve an important function but may have for the organism's ancestors.
9. Cladograms can be drawn multiple ways but in the end they all show the same _______.
11. If you were to study the different developmental structures across multiple organisms, you might argue how they share a lot of similar characteristics for this piece of evidence for evolution.
12. There is a theory that this genetic material was the first to exist in cells. Like waaaaay back when.
13. _____ evidence allows us to link modern organisms to extinct ancestors.
14. I’m the kind of cell that came before bacteria and contained the first genetic material.
15. When similar anatomical structures are found across multiple species but serve a different function they are called a ______ structure.

1. This piece of evidence for evolution argues how different species can arise from different adaptations they develop based on their environment.
2. An experiment was used to simulate Earth’s early atmosphere and this organic molecule was made as a result to prove life could be possible.
4. There is a theory when one prokaryote ate two different bacteria cells it became the first _______ cell.
5. This piece of evidence to support the theory of evolution states how all living things have the same ______ code.
6. In a cladogram if one organism does not share any similar traits with other organisms it is called this.
10. Across multiple species, if an anatomical structure serves a similar function but developed independently from one another/did not come from a common ancestor it is a ________ structure.
