Describe the evidence that supports that protists have evolved into multiple evolutionary lineages.
What will be an ideal response?
Some of the main evidence available today is DNA sequencing that points to multiple protist lineages. Protist lineages are very long and very old so it makes it difficult to determine the exact evolutionary lineages. The new DNA evidence has led scientists to classify protists and the other eukaryotes into six supergroups.
