- Inheritance
- In phylogeny the parent and derivative are an ancestral and a descendant clade; the lineage relation is descent; default carrying-over transmits the ancestral body plan — the four-limbed tetrapod plan is inherited by all tetrapods without re-evolving; and selective override specialises it, as when cetaceans override the hindlimbs to near-absence and snakes override the limb plan entirely while remaining recognisably tetrapod in skeleton and physiology.
This sourceEvolutionary-developmental account of the tetrapod limb plan inherited along lineages and overridden (e.g., limb reduction in snakes and cetaceans).
