Phylogenetic tree is a kind of tree which depicts the evolution relationship between the taxons.

Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 outgroup В C outgroup B A outgroup A We have gathered some morphological data on three species of mythical mammals and the outgroup; these data are presented in the table below. Species Number of toes Eye color Tail Number of molars Outgroup 4 Brown Present 12 A 5 Blue Absent 10 B 4 Blue Present 12 C Blue Absent 10 Now our task is to discover which the three trees above is the most parsimonious, representing the most likely pathway of evolution. We determine the best tree by fitting the data in the table to each tree and calculating the number of evolutionary changes that are required. To facilitate our calculations, we will use the table below. The numbers in the table indicate the number of evolutionary changes that are required for each character in each tree.

Megan, a paleontologist, is working with a new fossil collection of trilobites from the paleozoic era. Part of her research is figuring out how many species of trilobites are in this new collection. What species concept will Megan not be able to use while doing her work? Biological species concept O Phylogenetic species concept O Megan will be able to use all of them Morphological species concept O Megan will not be able to use any of them
Species A and B have long wings, whereas species C has short wings. Which of the following pieces of evidence would best support the hypothesis that long wings are a synapomorphy? A. DNA evidence showing that species B and C are sister species B. Fossil evidence showing that the common ancestor of species A, B, and C had short wings C. DNA evidence showing that species A and C are sister species D. Fossil evidence showing that the common ancestor of species A, B, and C had long wings E. Evidence showing that species A and B live in an environment that favors long wings, whereas species C lives in an environment that favors short wings
10. Refer to the figure shown. Species Stripe Color 1 2 3 B. C R The figure shows the phylogeny of seven species of beetles (A-G) and whether the beetles have (?) or do not have (x×) one of three stripes. It also indicates the color of the beetle (R for red and G for green). Based on the phylogenetic tree and the principle of parsimony, the absence of stripe in species is most likely O 1; E and F; an evolutionary reversal O 2; E and F; due to convergent evolution O 2; E and F; a synapomorphy O 1; E and F; a synapomorphy O 1; E andF; due to convergent evolution

It provides a drawing the reflects the proven relationships between living and extinct species. b It provides a hypothetical model of the relationships between extinct species. c It provides a hypothetical model of the relationships between living and extinct species. d It a diagram used by scientists that provides a model of evolutionary relationships without the need for scientific data.
To test evolutionary hypotheses, you make a phylogeny of a group of organisms based on six traits: A B 1 2 E 5 2 1= singing 2= nest-building 3 = short legs 4 = hollow snout 5= crest J L M 6 = tree dwelling a) Based on your phylogeny, did hollow snouts evolve to allow singing? Explain your answer. b) Your friend wants to put all of the species that have hollow snouts into a single taxonomic group. Is this a good taxonomic group? Explain your answer. 4.

An analysis of the phylogeny of mutualistic and free-living fungi, as well as the rates of nucleotide substitutions in selected ribosomal RNA regions, was conducted with a view to determining how coevolution can drive changes in the heritable traits of a species. Which of the following is NOT the expected outcome of the study? A. There was a faster rate of molecular evolution occuring among free-living fungal species compared to lichens. B. Fungi coevolving with algae in lichens featured higher rates of nucleotide substitutions. C. Higher rates of nucleotide substitution in mutualistic fungi were widespread across many sections of the genome. D. The transition to mutualism accelerated the rate of molecular evolution for fungal species.
