Detailed explanation-1: -Autapomorphy – a distinctive derived trait that is unique to a given taxon or group.
Detailed explanation-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. Of course, what’s primitive or derived is relative to what branch an organism is on.
Detailed explanation-3: -Derived Characters A derived character is a trait that arose in the most recent common ancestor of a particular lineage and was passed along to its descendants.
Detailed explanation-4: -A character which is in the state shared by the common ancestor of the group. Derived Character = Apomorphy. A character in a new state, not the primitive one. Shared Character: A character shared by all the members of the group.
Detailed explanation-5: -A shared character is one that two lineages have in common, and a derived character is one that evolved in the lineage leading up to a clade and that sets members of that clade apart from other individuals. Shared derived characters can be used to group organisms into clades.
