Question
if two organisms are in the same clade, what can you predict about their relationship?
○ they are not closely related.
○ they share a common ancestor.
○ they compete for resources.
○ one organism evolved into the other organism.
A clade is a group of organisms that includes a single common ancestor and all its lineal descendants. By definition, all members of the same clade share this common ancestor. The other options are incorrect: organisms in the same clade are closely related, resource competition is not a guaranteed trait of clade members, and clade members do not evolve directly into one another but share a common ancestor.
