Concept explainers
To explain: The way in which an individual would decide whether the new discovered organism is an animal.
Concept introduction: Animal phylogeny is the rapidly changing field for the biologists. Even if the members of animal kingdom are incredibly diverse, there are various animals sharing certain features that differentiate them from other organisms of the kingdom.
To explain: The characters that might be contribute to the decision of the individual to decide the newly discovered organism as an animal.

Group of answer choices A: True B: Falsearrow_forwardSelect the statement which best describes the Kingdom Animalia Question 12 options: All members are symmetrical All members are vertebrates All members use internal fertilization All members have one motile life stagearrow_forwardWhat are two ways that scientist measure similarity between organismsarrow_forward
- On a trip to Australia and Tasmania, you find a strange looking organism. This organism has a beak, lays eggs outside of it's body and is covered in fur. You determine that this organism is: Question 14 options: All of the above A monotreme A member of phylum chordata A mammalarrow_forwardIn what way is the etymology of the different scientific and biological terms helpful to students of Zoology?arrow_forwardCreate a cladogram using the given organisms and characteristics Organisms Traits A B Hair + Amniotic egg + 4 limbs + Backbone Dorsal Finarrow_forward
- The word invertebrate is so broad that it describes 95 percent of all living animal species. Do you think the term invertebrate is too broad to be useful to scientists? Give reasons to support your answer.arrow_forwardWhat do scientists in the field of systematics accomplish?a. discover new fossil sitesb. organize and classify organismsc. name new speciesd. communicate between field biologistsarrow_forwardImagine you are conducting fieldwork and discover two groups of mice living on opposite sides of a river. Assuming you will not disturb the mice, design a study to determine whether these two groups belong to the same species. If you could bring them to the lab, how might that affect your experimental design?arrow_forward
- Which one of the following is a primate? A. BearB. OtterC. LorisD. Pangolinarrow_forwardWhat is one problem with using only anatomical features to determine how closely related organisms are?arrow_forwardYou will sketch a cladogram for the named organisms below. I do not expect you to know all the unique features of each organism or which features are more important than others (yet). However, when you create branches you must indicate what characteristic (trait) you chose to make the splitting decision. Just state the trait on the cladogram. The interpretation will come later. (A) Create a cladogram for the following organisms: amoeba, panda, chameleon, salamander, trout, leech, sea anemone (B) From your cladogram select two organisms that would form a MONOPHYLETIC group and a second two that could form a PARAPHYLETIC group. Define each term. (C) You don't have to draw one, but explain how a Phylogenetic tree of thesearrow_forward
