Mr. Morales is teaching a lesson on classification. He says that spiders are classified as a different group than insects because they have eight legs instead of six legs. He explains that spiders evolved first. Mr. Morales also says that having eight legs is the derived trait that separates the two groups. Antonio thinks Mr. Morales is wrong. Which piece of information is Antonio considering?
antonio is considering that since the spiders came first, it cannot have 'derived traits' from anything. spiders themselves are the ancestralspecies of the insects
