Want to know:
Prediction of order of evolution within an ingroup, based on the phenotypes of contemporary organisms, the evolutionary tree, and the phenotypic state of the ingroup's most recent common ancestor.For example, we can predict the order of fossilizable traits from the phylogeny, and then find that that is the order that the traits occurred in the fossil record (jaws before digits, e.g.).

- a large population of laboratory animals has been allowed to breed randomly for a number of generations. after several generations, 49% of the animals display a recessive trait (bb), the same percentage as at the beginning of the breeding program. the rest of the animals show the dominant phenotype, with heterozygote individuals indistinguishable from the homozygous dominant individuals.what is the most reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from the fact that the frequency of allele b has not changed over time?a) the population is undergoing genetic driftb) the two phenotypes are equally adaptive under laboratory conditions c) the genotype BB is lethal d) there has been a high rate of mutation of allele B to allele b
