Explanation of Solution

The study of the structure of the human body is called human anatomy. Under thissubject, the organization of the human body is studied. The position and appearance of cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and their relation with other body parts are taken into consideration while studying this subject.

Physiology deals with studying the mechanisms and functions of different body organs/parts present in a living system. Physiology also encompasses the chemical and physical processes that occur within the body.

You have returned to college to become a phylogeneticist. One of the first things you wish to do is determine how mammals, birds, and reptiles are related. Like any good scientist, you need to consider all available data objectively and without a preconceived “correct” answer. In pursuit of that, you should produce a phylogenetic tree based only on morphological features that show birds and mammals are more closely related. You will then produce a totally different tree, also using morphological features, that shows birds and reptiles are more closely related. Do not forget to include all three groups in both your trees. Based solely off the trees you produce, which relationship would you consider the more likely and why? Once you have answered that question, provide a brief summary of the “modern” understanding of the relationship between these three groups.
