Chapter 16, Problem 7PDT
Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether the quandaries described in the previous question even occur.

Introduction: Inheritance is the basis of evolution. Study of the evolution of descendants from common ancestors is called phylogeny. The diagrammatic representation of phylogeny of an organism is termed as a polygenetic tree.

Summary Introduction

To determine: A group of organisms that interests an individual and find the recent phylogenetic studies of this group and see whether such problems have been encountered.

Introduction: Inheritance is the basis of evolution. Study of the evolution of descendants from common ancestors is called phylogeny. The evolutionary relationship between different organisms and the history of different groups of organisms is depicted by an evolutionary tree.

Group of answer choices A) Lineage B) Biological C) Morphological D) Domestic dogs are not a single species according to any of the species concept definitions.
Which of the following is FALSE regarding phylogenetic trees? 1) The branch lengths on the tree are scaled to molecular (DNA) changes and/or time. 2)Phylogenetic trees have shown us that there is much more bacterial diversity compared to eukaryotes. 3) Phylogenetic trees show the evolutionary relatedness of different organisms. 4). The branch lengths on the tree depict abiotic and biotic factors affecting speciation.
Referring to the phylogenetic tree shown above, answer the following questions: 1. How many OTUs are included in the phylogenetic analysis? 2. How many clades are there? 3.
