Answer

similar characters evolved owing to convergent evolution; similar characters are ancestral

Explanation:

Convergent evolution happens when two organisms belonging to different species, living at different times or different continents but the same biome develop analogous structures hence making them appear similar.  The analogous structures were not present in the known ancestors of both groups.

Therefore convergent evolution is ignored during constructing phylogenies

Also similar characteristics that are ancestral are ignored.

The resurrection fern (Pleopeltis polypodioides) grows on the bark of southern live oak trees (Quercus virginiana). Resurrection
inna [77]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In biology, fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive, reproduce, mate and support evolution through gene transfer. A fitness of 0.28 signifies that only 28 percent of a given population are fit physically and able to reproduce while the remaining 72 % are unable to mate and hence cannot reproduce  and contribute towards gene flow and evolution.

Hence, option B is correct
