Best on the phylogenetic tree shown here, which organisms are most closely related to dinosaurs and birds?

Make phylogenetic tree with this organisms : Gray whale,Ginger, Peacock, Tiger, Rice, Cat, Pineapple, Crocodile, Box jellyfish, Bamboo Make it look like the picture example.

Fill in the blanks w/ synapomorphic, symplesiomorphic, or neither: The presence of brain regionalization is a __ feature of tetrapods relative to conditions in other vertebrates, but is a __ feature of Chordata considered alone. The presence of a post-anal tail, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, a notochord, and external gills are __ features of Chordata, __ features of Urochordates, __ features of (cephalochordates + vertebrates) relative to conditions in other organisms.

draw an evolutionarily accurate phylogenetic tree with the 5 lineages of Amniotes shown in the top figure, but with a different arrangement. You can exclude lungfishes and amphibians but include all other lineages. You can do this by swiveling the branches.

The taxon Crocodilia includes crocodiles, Aves includes birds, and Squamata includes snakes and lizards. If we think of Crocodilia and Squamata as reptiles, what kind of phylogenetic group do they form? (paraphyletic, monophyletic, polyphyletic)

Was the ancestor of all dinosaurs feathered or scaly?  What character condition did you get? use the picture below.

A bird, from a modern phylogenetic systematic perspective, is properly classified as a member of all of the following except Group of answer choices Archosaur Gnathostome Amniote Synapsid

Pair the words with the right description:  Mammalia , Testudines, Rhynchocephalia, Amniota             Tetrapoda,Cryptodira, Reptilia ,Squamata, Crocodylia, Pleurodira, Lepidosauria,Archosauria,Crocodiles, Anura          The oldest lineage of extant reptiles.         This clade is the sister taxon to reptiles.     Adults are terrestrial and nocturnal, while the young are diurnal.  Larval forms of most species are herbivorous while adults are insectivorous/carnivorous.  The closest living relatives of avian reptiles.  They are known as the "side necked" turtles.     Have elongate, tapering snouts and, with the mouth closed, the 4th tooth on the lower jaw is visible.       Most diverse and speciose clade of reptiles.  Adults of this taxon are known to be cannibalistic on younger individuals.      Possess teeth set in bony sockets and replace teeth throughout their lives.      Males in this taxon have paired copulatory organs and movable quadrate bone in the skull.  Members of this order…

Dinosauria is divided into these two major clades * O theropods & ornithopods O crurotarsans & archosauriforms O saurischians & ornithodirans ornithischians & saurischians ornithischians & pseudosuchians
