The wings of a bat and the wings of a bird look very similar, however the bat's wings are more similar to the forelimbs of cats. This tells us that: O a Wings probably evolved due to similar environmental challenges but bats are more closely related to cats than birds. O b. Cats have wings. O C. Wings are a homologous feature of bats and birds. O d The bird and bat share a recent common ancestor.

Evolutionary lineages

An evolutionary lineage is a series of populations of organisms that descend from a common ancestor. Each species in the lineage is the direct consequence of evolutionary change from a common ancestor. A phylogenetic tree is generally used to display lineages visually. Lineages are components of the phylogenetic tree of life. Molecular systematics procedures are widely used to predict lineages.
