This diagram shows the evolutionary history of a group of animals. You read it from left to right. Physical traits used to classify organisms are placed on the diagonal line.
If an organism branches off the main line before the trait, then they do not have that trait.
What two traits do wolves have?
retractible claws / purring
hair / carnivorous
carnivorous / retractible claws
hair / purring
This is a timeline showing the evolution of traits in plants along a diagonal timeline. What trait does organism #2 NOT have?
independent sporophyte
vascular tissue
photosynthesis
dependent sporophyte

Divergent evolution happens when one ancestral species evolves into many new species over time.
Convergent evolution happens when two unrelated species evolve to look the same because they are living in the same kind of environment.
