Choose the false statement about the morphological data in the chart shown below. The "1" in the box means the trait is present and the "0" indicates that the trait is absent. (Check all correct answers) Group of answer choices The shark is not the outgroup since it has one of the derived characteristics (jaws) The lamprey is the only outgroup since it has none of the derived characteristics All organisms in this chart share all of the derived characteristics. Only the gorilla and humans share all of the derived characteristics

View the cladogram at right: The organisms shown are shark, frog, lizard, duck, housecat, and human. Which of the following statements about the cladogram is TRUE? Select one: The human is the most evolutionarily advanced organism shown on this tree. The shark, frog, and lizard all make up a single clade because they are all cold-blooded. The lizard is more distantly related to humans than the shark. The lizard, duck, cat, and human all share a single common ancestor. The presence of a tail is a derived trait for all species in this tree.

Which of the following is false regarding phylogenetic analysis? Select one: a. A phylogeny can be structured based upon a variety of characters including morphology, behavior, and cell structure b. In using DNA to infer phylogeny, a particular gene could be the character and the nucleotide positions would be the various character states c. Phylogenetics can be used to identify synapomorphies which are instances of convergent evolution within a single taxon lineage d. Phylogenetics enables scientists to identify monophyletic groups which are the set of all known descendants from a single common ancestor e. None of the above f. All of the above

Complete the characteristics chart for five species of animals below. Place an X for features that each animal has, and a O for features not exhibited in the animal. All of these animals have backbone, the first column is completed for you. (non-graded) Table 2. Characteristics Chart of Five Vertebrates. Animal | Traits --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | Backbone | Lungs | Amniotic Egg | 4 Chambered heart | Fur Fish | X | | | | Frog | X | | | | Lizard | X | | | | Bird | X | | | | Koala | X | | | | Convert the chart into a diagram. Each group, called a clade, has the traits below it on the diagram. When a group does not have a trait, it is called an outgroup. The first outgroup is fish, because it is the only one that does not have lungs. Complete the diagram below using the data in Table 2.
