Question
Chapter 22, Problem 15TYK
Summary Introduction
To determine: The last common ancestor of crocodiles and the lineage of lizards and snakes.
Introduction: Evolution is the “process of descent with modification” where the characteristics present in an ancestral organism changed over a period of time in its descendants through their adaptation to different environments by the process of “natural selection”.

Which is the best explanation for separating reptiles from mammals?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about the phylogeny of birds and reptiles. Question 35 options: a) Birds are more closely related to amphibians then they are to reptiles. b) Birds are a type of reptile, but are not related to dinosaurs. c) Birds and reptiles are the least related vertebrates. d) Birds are a type of reptile and are descended from a group of dinosaurs.arrow_forwardUse the evolutionary tree below to answer the questions that follow. a. What number represents the most recent common ancestor to all the organisms on this tree? b. Name the organisms that share the homologous structure of the amnion. c.

What is the shared characteristic of 3 to 6? Which number represents the common ancestor of Ostriches and Hawks?arrow_forwardThrough the phylogenetic tree of major groups of vertebrates provided below, answer the given table by numbering and naming each node in the diagram. Then list the names of each group and write down the shared characteristic(s) of it. You may add more rows if needed.

Because of this, you suspect that the vertebrate remains you found might belong to some of the earliest tetrapods (four-legged animals including land vertebrates) to walk the Earth. Examine the cladogram below. What is the sister group to the land vertebrates?

- Make a table separating the animals based on the physical properties such as: I. Presence or absence of a backbone II. Ability to breathe in air or water III. Cold or warm blooded IV. Carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore V. Presence or absence of hair/fur VI. Any other external structure such as horns After that, construct a phylogenetic tree (example is on the picture I uploaded)arrow_forwardA biologist is trying to infer how five closely related species of snakes are related to one another. She notices that some of the snakes have forked tongues and others do not. Which of the following would help her distinguish the ancestral state? Group of answer choices She looks at a representative mammal species to see if it has a forked tongue. She locates a specimen of a more closely related snake to see if it has forked tongue. She looks among snakes fossils for evidence that being forked is a characteristic of the ancestor of this group, but determines no such fossil exist. She flips a coin.arrow_forwardVertebrates Gnathostomes Tetrapods Amniotes Mammals Phylogeny based on morphology Amphioxus Lampreys Sharks Ray-finned fishes Coelacanth Lungfishes Amphibians Monotremes Marsupials Placental mammals Turtles Tuatara Lizards Snakes Turtles Crocodiles Birds Phylogeny based on DNA sequencearrow_forward
