Concept explainers
To describe: The similar traits th arise independently in species are only distantly related.
Introduction: The complete sequencing of genomes of various organisms has led the biologist to confirm that all of the life forms are related through a common ancestor. Many model organisms are used to study the gene expression, since the organisms share an evolutionary relationship. The evolutionary history of these relationship is called phylogeny.
