Down
- 1. hypotheses; can be constructed to visualize the predicted relationships between species, genes in a gene family, populations, cell lines, or any other number of levels of biological organization.
- 2. similarity due to common ancestry
- 3. top of body
- 6. Ancestor + some, but not all descendants
- 7. one common ancestor + all its descendants
- 11. The history of organisms across development
- 12. A cross-lineage approach to understanding the phylogenetic history of organisms based on patterns and mechanisms, and what drives the evolution of those
