Question 4 • Biology

If two organisms are in the same clade, what can you predict about their relationship?

Answer
A
One organism evolved into the other organism.
B
They compete for resources.
C
They share a common ancestor.
D
They are not closely related.

Explanation

A clade is a group consisting of a common ancestor and all its descendants. So if two organisms belong to the same clade, they share a common ancestor. This does not mean one organism evolved directly into the other, as choice A suggests.
