Crawfish are shelled organisms that live in shallow freshwater rivers. They can have antennae of different lengths. Two parents with medium length antennae have offspring. One of their offspring has short antennae, and one has long antennae. How did the offspring end up with traits that are different from the traits of their parents? How did the gene combinations result in these traits?

Animal Phylogeny

Cladistics is a method of biological classification where organisms are classified based on their ancestors and their relationship with them. It is defined as the concepts and methods for determining the branching patterns of evolution and evolutionary history. Some scientists, however, have preferred the term phylogenetic systematics or phylogenetic taxonomy to emphasize the reliance on a phylogeny for classification. It is the most common and accepted method for classifying organisms.
