Question
if two organisms are in the same clade, what can you predict about their relationship? they are not closely related. one organism evolved into the other organism. they compete for resources. they share a common ancestor.
A clade is a group of organisms that includes an ancestor and all its descendants. By definition, organisms in the same clade must share a common ancestor. The option "They are not closely related" is incorrect because being in the same clade implies a relatedness through a common ancestor. "One organism evolved into the other organism" is wrong as evolution involves branching and new species arise from a common ancestor, not one evolving directly into another. "They compete for resources" is not a prediction from being in the same clade, as clades are about evolutionary relationships, not ecological competition.
