Which of the following statements about ancestral and derived traits are true? Ancestral traits are shared by taxa due to common ancestry (e.g., the ancestor had that trait). Derived traits are present in all members of a phylogeny Derived traits are new characteristics that evolved in a lineage after divergence from a common ancestor with an ancestral trait. Ancestral traits are unique to a single species.

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.
