Please answer number 2. I have gotten the first answer as V is the most closely related species and for the last one I got W. Please let me know if that is correct. The next few questions refer to the following evolutionary tree, whose horizontal axis representstime (present time is on the far right) and whose vertical axis represents morphological change.WPresentXYZWhich species is most closely related to species W?Identify where species V and Z have a common ancestor.Which of these five species originated earliest and appeared suddenly in the fossil record?5. Identify the evolutionary mechanism that is being described in the following scenarios

The study of evolutionary relationships among species is an interesting field in biology. In the following discussion, we are going be analyze an evolutionary tree to reply to some questions about the connections between certain species, their common predecessors, and their appearances within the fossil record.Yes, the answers are correctAnswer 4:1. Species W is most closely related to species V. Typically decided by looking at the evolutionary tree and distinguishing the species that offers the most recent common precursor with species W. In this case, species V offers a branch with species W, demonstrating that they diverged from a common precursor more recently than any other species.2. The point at which species V and Z share a common ancestor can be found by tracing back their branches on the evolutionary tree to the point where they intersect. This intersection represents the most recent common ancestor of the two species.3. Species W is the species that originated earliest and appeared suddenly in the fossil record. This is inferred from the fact that species W's branch extends furthest to the left on the horizontal time axis of the evolutionary tree, indicating that it appeared earlier in time compared to the other species. The sudden appearance in the fossil record is represented by the abrupt vertical rise of the branch representing species W, indicating a significant morphological change in a relatively short period of time.Answer 1: Species W is most closely related to species V.Answer 2: common ancestor can be found by tracing back their branches on the evolutionary tree to the point where they intersect.Answer 3: Species W is the species that originated earliest and appeared suddenly in the fossil record.
