Question
Chapter 30, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: The place of the newly discovered animal in the cladogram is given in “Fig. 30-6a: Some key characters are indicated on the branches” in the textbook.
Introduction: Animal phylogeny is the rapidly changing field for the biologists. Even if the members of the animal kingdom are incredibly diverse, there are various animals sharing certain features that differentiate them from other organisms of the kingdom.

In your own words, explain how cephalization, jaw development, and paired limbs guided vertebrate evolution. Include 3 vertebrates as examples to elaborate your answer.
Examine the figure attached. Provide one idea of how gene evolution of major body patterning genes (hox genes) has influenced functional anatomy of vertebrates. Provide one place in evolutionary history (see diagram) from a group or clade to illustrate the idea.
Along comes Dr Phil Bell and deep in the mines of Lightning Ridge, finds an amazingly preserved pterosaur that preserves feathers. He hypothesises that this means that feathers must have evolved before the origin of dinosaurs and therefore must have been primitive. Test this hypothesis using phylogenetic framework and provide a brief explanation of your process and whether or not you support Dr Bell's hypothesis.

- Which of the following statements is BEST supported by the phylogenetic tree? A The development of a bony skeleton was a significant evolutionary step for ocean-dwelling animals. B Most warm-blooded animals evolved to have hair, while cold-blooded animals did not. C Most land animals require a vertebral column, while ocean animals do not. D The evolution of the amniotic egg was specific to ocean-dwelling animals.arrow_forwardYour age-dating put the age of the rocks you are examining in the early Devonian period. 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?

- You are a scientist trying to determine the relationship between the organisms below. On a separate sheet of paper create a cladogram that represents how these animals are related. the words below in bold, must be used on your cladogram 1. Divide the animals into two groups depending on if they possess vertebrae. 2. Divide the vertebrates into groups according whether they have an amniotic egg or not. (Hint: keep the animals who give live birth with the amniotic egg animals.) 3. Divide those who have amniotic eggs according to the presence of an exoskeleton. 4. Divide those with endoskeleton according to whether or not they give live birth. 5. Divide those with live birth depending on if they possess opposable thumbs. 6. Return to your invertebrates. Divide them according to the presence of an exoskeleton. 7. Divide those with exoskeletons according to whether they possess wings.

- Can someone pleae help with 3 question for my biology homework thank you 1)List two traits that animals share with other organisms, and three traits that are unique to animals. 2)Explain the difference between protostome development and deuterostome development. Use full sentences. 3)As discussed in class, animals are classified into different phyla based on the presence of tissues. Define the two options for animals with true tissues, and give a specific animal phylum as an example of each option.arrow_forwardOn a deep sea expedition, you capture a previously undiscovered sea creature that appears to represent a new phyla. It happens to have fertilized eggs that you get to spawn. You watch its development to determine which group of animals it might belong to. You see that the mouth develops first, and it goes through several larval stages in which it molts and regrows its skeleton. Which big phylogenetic group of animals does this animal likely belong to? A. Ecdysozoa B. Lophotrochozoa C. Diploblasts D. Deuterostomesarrow_forwardWith evolution and multicellularity in mind, list two characteristics that may have been common to the first animals.arrow_forward
