- Each of the following three questions contains two lists. The first is a list of some characteristics of our own species, Homo sapiens, that distinguish it from LUCA. The second is a list of possible sequences (reading from left to right) in which these novelties were acquired by our ancestors during the course of human evolution. Choose the number of the correct sequence. If none is correct, choose "None of the above." Here is the first pair of lists: A. Bilateral symmetry B. Bony skeleton C. Mitochondria D. Notochord E. Multicellularity O D, E, B, A, C O C, E, A, D, B O E, C, A, D, B O A, E, C, D, B O None of the abovearrow_forward4) Repetitive DNA comprises about _________ of chromosomal DNA A) 5% B) 40% C) 60% D) 95%arrow_forward1.) I have attempted to make connections between these topics throughout the semester: the idea of multicellularity, complexity, pattern formation, signaling, embryonic development and postembryonic development. Discuss these ideas from simple organisms, like Dicty or Volvox to more complex organisms like insects and vertebrates. How are these ideas similar and how are they connected through evolution? Use examples from class. (20 Points, limit to 1 page) 2.) Early in this semester I introduced you to the concept of the developmental biology tool kit. Throughout the semester we have built upon that tool kit. A sample of your tool kit includes gene expression, morphogens, scaffolds, time, endocrine, nervous system, cell division, electromagnetic fields, migration, and cell adhesion. Using examples from embryology, regeneration and post embryonic development discuss the aforementioned tools. (20 Points, limit to 1 page) 3.)

- Which statement about the relationship between phenotypic and genetic attributes is correct? O a Usually phenotypically similar organisms are not genetically similar. O b Organisms with very similar morphology also have very similar genes. Genetically similar organisms can appear profoundly different morphologically. O d Analogous qualities among two species are similar due to shared ancestry.arrow_forward5c. What is wrong with this sentence “Humans are closely related to apes”?arrow_forwardDraw a structure of chromosomesarrow_forward
- Parallel evolution, convergent evolution and character state reversals are all examples of Select one: a. synapomorphy b. homoplasy c. homologyarrow_forwardWhat is the difference between similarity and homology?arrow_forwardMembers of two different species possess a similar-looking structure that they use in a similar way to perform about the same function. Which of the following would suggest that the relationship more likely represents homology instead of convergent evolution? a. The two species share many proteins in common, and the nucleotide sequences that code for these proteins are almost identicalb. The two species live at great distance from each otherc. The structures in adult members of both species are similar in sized. Both species are well adapted to their respective environmentsarrow_forward
- Polyploidy is very common in flowering plants: approximately 40% of all flowering plant species are polyploids. Although polyploidy exists in many different animal groups, it is much less common. Why is polyploidy more common in plants than in animals? Give one or more possible reasons.arrow_forwardFrom a cladistic perspective, in the phylogenetic tree shown above, the cartilaginous skeleton is a(an):A) apomorphyB) pleisiomorphyC) sympleisiomorphyD) synapomorphy 8. From a cladistic perspective, in the phylogenetic tree shown above, the bony skeleton is a(an):A) apomorphyB) pleisiomorphyC) sympleisiomorphyD) synapomorphyarrow_forwardWhich of the following would not be consistent with the ideathat a disorder has a genetic component?a. The disorder is more likely to occur among an affectedperson’s relatives than in the general population.b. The disorder can spread to individuals sharing similarenvironments.c. The disorder tends to develop at a characteristic age.d. A correlation is observed between the disorder and amutant gene.arrow_forward
