Question

Evolution never occurs in a straight line. There are always branches and nodes that can be seen along the way. Based on the image, which two statements are true?

Answer 1

Seeing as though you did not provide an image, I'm going to assume you are referring a phylogenetic tree. Two very distinct things are prevalent; one being species evolve from a common ancestor. Emboldening relationships shared between species. Furthermore, such diagrams show shared genetic characteristics.
