Lineage
Linear evolutionary sequence from an ancestral species through all intermediates to a descendant species.

lineage -- Any continuous line of descent; any series of organisms connected by reproduction by parent of offspring.
lipids -- a class of biochemical compounds which includes fats, oils, and waxes.

The lineage of animals which joins reptiles and mammals is often touted here as an excellent example of a transitional series.

(1) A lineage of genetically identical individuals or cells. (2) In popular usage, a single individual organism that is genetically identical to another individual. (3) As a verb, to make one or more genetic replicas of an individual or cell.

Of an even older lineage than the coelacanth are the Graptolites. Living representatives were first found in 1882, although the group had previously been presumed to have been extinct for 300 million years.

In fact, it is widely accepted that eukaryotic metabolism is largely a derivative of bacterial metabolism with mitochondria having descended from a lineage within the α-Proteobacteria and chloroplasts from the Cyanobacteria by ancient endosymbiotic ...

We will use the instances found to estimate the frequencies of recent transfer to diverse lineages.

Both agree that a species is a lineage that maintains its integrity over time, that is diagnosably different to other lineages (else we could not recognise it), is reproductively isolated (else the lineage would merge into others, ...
Full article >>>

A method to study cell lineage or function by selectively destroying a small number of cells. For example, a laser beam can be used to focus on and kill one cell in C. elegans.

Ablation experiment: An experiment designed to produce an animal deficient in one or a few cell types, in order to study cell lineage or cell function.

- is made of cells derived from several different lineages. One might have expected that the earliest cell divisions would produce daughter cells destined to go on to form a single structure in the embryo. But that is not generally the case.
Full article >>>

: Evolution of two or more different lineages towards similar morphology due to similar adaptive pressures.
Full article >>>

Different angiosperm evolutionary lineages differ in the distribution between nucleus and mitochondrion of genes for the proteins of mitochondrial ribosomes, suggesting multiple events of transfer of genes from mitochondria to nuclei (ref).
Full article >>>

Shared derived characters that are regarded as homologous are called synapomorphies, e.g. the presence of mammary glands in all three lineages of mammals (monotremes, marsupials and placentals).
