Answer:

1. An evolutionary trait that is homologous within groups of organisms (see homology) that are all descended from a common ancestor

2. Derived traits are those that just appeared (by mutation) in the most recent ancestor -- the one that gave rise to a newly formed branch.

3. A cladogram uses lines that branch off in different directions ending at a clade, a group of organisms with a last common ancestor.

4. It helps us to form a cognitive framework of understanding complexity.

5 Because it is a learned trait. For some domains, like Bacteria and Archeabacteria, DNA is transferrable

6. A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea.

7 Polyhedral, Helical, Complex, Spherical

8. Sometimes referred to as temperate or non-virulent infection, does not kill the host cell, instead using it as a refuge.
