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.

Figure 1.7 Decide if each of the following is an example of inductive or deductive reasoning. All flying birds and insects have wings. Birds and insects flap their wings as they move through the air. Therefore, wings enable flight. Insects generally survive mild winters better than harsh ones. Therefore, insect pests will become more problematic if global temperatures increase. Chromosomes, the carriers of DNAr separate into daughter cells during cell division. Therefore, each daughter cell will have the same chromosome set as the mother cell. Animals as diverse as humans, insects, and wolves all exhibit social behavior. Therefore, social behavior must have an evolutionary advantage.
