Organisms evolve from common ancestors and then diversify. Scientists use the phrase “descent with modification” because even though related organisms have many of the same characteristics and genetic codes, changes and mutations occur. Place the following steps of this evolution pattern in the correct order:

I. A change in the genetic makeup of an organism leads to a new trait which becomes prevalent in the group.

II. More variations continue to arise: some are adaptive and persist, leading to more new traits.

III. With new traits, a new branch point is determined.

IV. Many organisms descend from this point and have this new trait

I, II, III, IV

I, III, II, IV

I, IV, II, III

I, III, IV, II
