The evolution of homologous characteristics into new forms/phenotypes in the same clade. “Descent with modification” a branching diagram showing the cladistic relationship between a number of species Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species The evolution of analogous characteristics in distantly related clades a branching diagram that shows how similar a group of things are to each other evolution that is very slow or has stopped a biological term that describes a normal or average rate of evolution for a group of plants or animals evolution at a relatively rapid rate tending to result in speedy differentiation and fixation of new types
