Question
Chapter 30.4, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To draw: A cladogram illustrating the evolutionary relationships among three main clades of bilateral animals and the way in which they differ from one another.
Concept introduction: Animal phylogeny is the rapidly changing field. Biologists associate the variations in body symmetry, types of body cavity, number of tissue layers, and pattern of development. To interfere with the evolutionary relationships among the animal groups, biologists nowadays compare the embryonic developments and the molecular level of variations.

Examine the image of the relatedness of vertebrates represented in this phylogenetic tree. Which statements are correctly inferred from this tree? Select all that apply.
A) The mammals are the outgroup in this tree.
B) Birds and dinosaurs share a recent common ancestor.
C) Mammals and birds are more closely related than any other species.
D) Turtles are equally as diverged from lizards and snakes as they are from crocodiles.
E) Lizards and snakes are more recently diverged from each other than they are from crocodiles.
A) Draw a phylogenetic tree for the major phyla of the animal kingdom. Label the appropriate branch points on the tree with the following features: Tissue, radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry, body cavity, deuterostomes, and protostomes.
B). Draw a diagram of a hydra. On the hydra, label the mouth (hypostome), tentacles, basal disk, ovary, budding polyp, gastrovascular cavity. State the function of each structure you labeled next to or under your diagram.

- Draw a phylogenetic reconstruction for the hypothetical frog species.
