NGSS.MS-LS1-6

The method of grouping organisms into categories that represent lines of evolutionary descent is called

• evolutionary classification.

• cladistic analysis.

• binomial nomenclature.

• taxonomy.

Comparison of DNA to determine how long different species have been evolving independently can be done using

• cladograms.

• kingdoms.

• molecular clocks.

• domains.

Characteristics that appear in recent pars of a lineage but not in its older members are called

• taxons.

• derived characters.

• cladograms.

• genes.
