Identify what is being described by each of the following statements. Write your best answer on the blank provided before the item. 1) Figure 20 shows that the European otter (Lutra lutra) and the American badger (Taxidea taxus) belong to the same group through a common ancestor. In cladistics, what is such a grouping called? 2) This refers to a treelike diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships of species based on derived characters. 3) In cladistics, this refers to a characteristic that is not found in the common ancestor of a group of organisms being studied. 4) Vertebrate skeletons perform the same basic function, are made up of the same materials and are composed of the same parts. This kind of skeletal organization is believed to be inherited from and originated by a common vertebrate ancestor. What are characteristics such as the organization of the vertebrate skeleton called? 1 5) These are biological molecules, such as DNA or a protein, whose rate of evolution can be used to estimate the time when two species separated from a common ancestor. 6) This is a species' two-part name which is made up of its genus name followed by a specific epithet. 7) This refers to the pattern being followed by the arrangement of an animal's body parts. 8) This refers to a group of organisms at any rank in the taxonomic hierarchy. 9) These are fossils or organisms that possess characteristics that are intermediate between those of an ancestral form and those of its descendants. 10) This is the main basis of modern systems of biological classification.
