Next to the species names are the tooth morphology of each species. For example, species A has prominent molar teeth, thus likely a herbivore. On the other hand, species C has prominent canine tooth, thus likely a carnivore. Which of the following statements is correct? O The most recent common ancestor for species A to H is probably a carnivore: O The most recent common ancestor for species A to H is probably a herbivore OIt is impossible to tell what the main food source is for the most recent common ancestor of species A to H. O For species C, D, E, F, G, there are four evolutionary events that lead to the evolution of canine tooth morphology If the common ancestor of species C, D, E, F, G is a carnivore, then the molar teeth for species D is a plesiomorphy. A B D E LL F G H REG a a Barrow_forwardIt is known that it takes very long periods of time for new species to develop, and yet the fossil record for many organisms is characterized by long periods of Stasis (no change) followed by short bursts of intense Speciation (the disappearance of one species followed by the appearance of a new species). Thus in the fossil record, organisms seem to stay the same for long periods of time followed by a “sudden” change in the organisms (sudden with respect to evolution and geology). In other words, it appears that new species evolve suddenly as opposed to over long periods of time. The Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium helps to explain these seemingly contradictory occurrences in the fossil record. Discuss how Punctuated Equilibrium works (think about small offshoot populations that break off from the main population) and how it can explain the fossil record evidence. (Be sure to include information about why fossils of the offshoot population would be rare.)arrow_forward
- It is the proportion of replicate phylogenies that recovered a particular clade from the original phylogeny built using the original alignment.

- Match the correct label to locations A, B and C on the figure below. Evolutionary history, or phylogeny, is represented visually by a phylogenetic tree. Trees have a common structure, with a root, nodes, and branches. To determine evolutionary relationships among living or extinct organisms, consider the most recent common ancestors.

Chronoograms are named because the length of the branches represents different lengths of time. Nodes are represented by vertical lines, and branches with horizontal ones. They can be arranged horizontally, with the most recent evolutions on the right.
