1. The taxonomic Supergroups of life are a work in progress which attempt to hypothesize on the relatedness of life's major groups. Currently this phylogeny includes a non-dichotomously branching clade with three different branches connecting to one node. The clade that includes all three branches emerging from the same node is known as A) homeoplasiac traits. B) polytomic lineages. C) paraphyletic clade. D) polyphyletic clade E) all of the above

Which of the following is TRUE about a phylogenetic tree? It provides a drawing the reflects the proven relationships between living and extinct species. b It provides a hypothetical model of the relationships between extinct species. c It provides a hypothetical model of the relationships between living and extinct species. d It a diagram used by scientists that provides a model of evolutionary relationships without the need for scientific data.

In which type of classification system are names assigned only to groups that include a common ancestor and all of its descendants?   Question 30 options:   a system based entirely on evolutionary history   a system based solely on cellular structures   a system that groups organisms based solely on similar morphologies   a system that groups organisms based on similar roles in the environment

Which of the following statements is correctly stated? Homology is due to ahared ancestry whereas analogy is due to convergentevolution. Analogy is due to shared anceatry whereas homology is due to convergent evolution. Homology is due to ahared biochemistry whereas analogy is due to shared molecular characteristics. Homology is due to shared morphology whereas analogy is due to shared molecular characteristics. S0000

Organisms A, B, and C are all in the same family.  Organisms B and C are in the same genus. Given that information, select all the true statements about the relationships among these organisms. Group of answer choices organisms A, B, and C are in the same domain organisms A, B, and C are in the same phylum organisms A, B, and C are in the same order organism C is more related to A than to B organisms A, B, and C are in the same species organism B is more related to C than to A

Evolutionary theory predicts that species are related, not independent. Four of the following examples provide support for this prediction, but one is irrelevant. Which of examples listed below does not support the claim that species are related? O A. Many dinosaurs and other organisms went extinct following a huge asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous. O B. All prokaryotes and eukaryotes use DNA to carry their genetic information. OC. Before synthetic insulin was available, diabetics used injections of purified pig insulin to manage their disease. O D. Ground squirrel species found on the North and South sides of the Grand Canyon are very similar to each other. O E. The endostyle of lancelets (invertebrate chordates) and the thyroid gland of vertebrates develop similarly, and both produce iodinated proteins. «< Question 5 of 120 A Moving to another question will save this response. 11:51 AM 12/16/202 End F10 pgUP F11 PgDn F12 Home PrtScn F8 DII F5 F7 F6 F3 F4 F2 & #3 2$ 7 8 9.…
