module:
1.

What is the best definition for lineage?

A. A single line showing age
B. A continuous line of descent
parallel lines
Folder 2:
On this diagram, label:
1. The caimans and the
parrots own distinct
histories.
2. The part of their history that
the parrot and caiman
share.
3. The most recent common
ancestor shared by the
parrot and the caiman.
4. The most recent common
ancestor shared by the
parrot and the tuna.

An important idea to remember:

C. A set of

Folder 4:
As you explore this folder, fill in the data tables below using a +, -, 0, or ?.

Our evidence suggests that

T. rex shares more features
with ____________________
than with the other groups of
animals.

So what did T. rex taste

like? ____________________
What helps us to determine
evolutionary relationships?

What evidence did we use to determine that T. rex tasted like chicken?

What can we infer because T. rex was bipedal and had a reduced number of fingers?
