- On a research expedition to the Galapagos, you and your research team discover four new species! All the animals appear to be chordates, but each animal has distinct traits: Animal A: Both vertebral column and jaws Animal B: Vertebral column, jaws, limbs and lays amniotic eggs (amniote) Animal C: Vertebral column Animal D: Vertebral column, jaws and limbs A. Identify four derived characteristics that all chordates share. B. Based on your understanding of phylogeny, map the animals and their traits onto the phylogenetic tree provided below. In your response, list each number (1-8) and indicate which trait or animal corresponds to that position on the phylogenetic tree.arrow_forwardexplain how humans are related to each of the following animals by indicating the level of relatedness and which traits are evidence for this level of relatedness a) lamprey b) sea star c) beetlearrow_forwardHumans as individuals have a number of disadvantages compared to other animals. For instance we are not very fast, strong, cannot see well in the dark, have a poor sense of smell and hearing compared to other animals, and we are not very good climbers.
