Question

1. I have found a heritable, morphologic trait that I think is phylogenetically informative. Before I use this data to construct a cladogram, I must ensure the trait possesses some key features. What features must this trait have?

Morphological trait must have 3 thin.

1. it must be heritable
2. it must be a quantitative
3. ?

  • Question 1, I just need to know the Morphological trait must have heritable and quantitative and what

2. You have two traits that you could use to reconstruct evolutionary relationships: One is fur color, and the other is a coding sequence for a gene (agouti) that influences fur color. What type of data/trait is fur color; what type is gene coding sequence? Identify which trait is likely to be more phylogenetically informative and explain your reasoning.

My answer: coding sequence of the fur color is more important and informative for fur color trait as it will informative to find out evolutionary information based on coding sequence and find out common ancestral to discriminate organism on the base of evolution using fur color trait.

question: what type of data/trait is fur color, explain your reasoning.
