they had the same characteristic which is wishbone. After that the ancestor evolve and became new

species. Albertosaurus and T. rex were much similar to each other because they came form the same

branch of evolutionary tree. They had 2 same traits which are wish bone; that is the common traits

for all organism; and 2 fingered hand; that is uncommon for other 3 organisms. Secondly,

Archaeopteryx was less common form the first 2 organisms because it did not had 2 fingered hand,

but Archaeopteryx was more similar to chicken and ostrich than Albertosaurus and T. rex because

all of these 3 organisms had shafted feathers. Finally, the most related organisms are Chicken and

Ostrich because they have common characteristics which are wishbone, shafted feathers and

toothless beak. So according to the picture, it shows that Archaeopteryx is different from Chicken

and Ostrich because of the present of toothless beak.
