Question
Assuming chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and humans (Homo sapiens) are more closely related to each other than either is to gorillas (Gorilla gorilla), which of the following cladograms is correct? a. B b. A c. neither is correct d. both are correct
This image presents a phylogenetic tree comparing two different classifications of certain primate genera. ### Classification A and B: - **Hylobates** stands alone at one of the branches in both classifications, indicating its distinct lineage from the other genera. - In **Classification A**: - A single branch divides into three sub-branches representing the genera **Pongo**, **Gorilla**, **Pan**, and **Homo**. - These are grouped into a single clade indicating closer evolutionary relationships among them compared to **Hylobates**. - In **Classification B**: - A similar structure is seen, but with some variation in the branching pattern indicating a slightly different interpretation of evolutionary relationships between the genera. - **Pongo**, **Gorilla**, **Pan**, and **Homo** are again grouped together, suggesting a similar clade as in Classification A. This phylogenetic analysis illustrates possible evolutionary paths and relationships between these primate groups, highlighting similarities and differences in two classification approaches.
