Problem 6

In Figure $33.8,$ assume that the two medusae shown at step 4 were produced by one polyp colony. Review Concept 12.1 and Concept $13.3,$ and then use your understanding of mitosis and meiosis to evaluate whether the following sentence is true or false. If false, select the answer that provides the correct reason. Although the two medusae are genetically identical, a sperm produced by one will differ genetically from an egg produced by the other.
a. $\mathrm{F}$ (both the medusae and the gametes are genetically identical )
b. $\mathrm{F}$ (neither the medusae nor the gametes are genetically identical)
c. $\mathrm{F}$(the medusae are not identical but the gametes are)
d. $\mathrm{T}$

Problem 7

Draw a phylogenetic tree of Bilateria that includes the ten phyla of bilaterians discussed in detail in this chapter. Label each branch that leads to a phylum with a C, P, or A, depending on whether members of the phylum are coelomates (C), pseudocoelomates (P), or acoelomates (A). Use your labeled tree to answer the following questions:
"(a) For each of the three major clades of bilaterians, what (if anything) can be inferred about whether the common ancestor of the clade had a true coelom?
(b) To what extent has the presence of a true coelom in animals changed over the course of evolution?

Problem 8

Bats emit ultrasonic sounds and then use the returning echoes of those sounds to locate and capture flying insects, such as moths, in the dark. In response to bat attacks, some tiger moths make ultrasonic clicks of their own. Researchers hypothesize that tiger moth clicks likely either (1) jam the bat's sonar or (2) warn the bat about the moth's toxic chemical defenses. The graph below shows two patterns observed in studies of moth capture rates over time. Bats in these experiments were "naive," meaning that prior to the study the bats had not previously hunted tiger moths. Do the results support hypothesis (1), hypothesis (2), or both? Explain why the researchers used naive bats in this study.
