Chapter 20, Problem 1VCQ
Figure 20.6 At what levels are cats and dogs considered part of the same group?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Levels at which cats and dogs are considered part of the same group.
Introduction:
The various levels for classifications of organisms include domain, kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus and species.
Explanation of Solution
Dogs and cats belong to the same domain, kingdom, phylum, class, and order so they are in the same groups at five levels of classifications. Both cats and dogs are in Eukarya (domain), Animalia (kingdom), Chordata (phylum), Mammalia (class) and Carnivora (Order).
Conclusion
Cats and dogs are considered to be the part of the same groups at five levels that are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, and order.

b) Is there a monophyletic group that includes only pronghorns and deer? If so, which animals are included?
c) Is there a monophyletic that includes pigs and bovidss? If there is, what other animals would be a part of the monophyletic group?
Using the cladogram below, answer the following question. The wolf, leopard, and domestic cat are all mammals that are meat-eaters with four legs and claws. Why is the wolf not classified with the leopard and domestic cat?
a
Wolves do not have retractable claws.
b
Wolves howl and do not purr.

- Is a whale more closely related to a cat or a fish? A whale is more closely related to a cat than a fish. Both whales and cats produce milk and are warm blooded. Fish are cold blooded and do not produce milk. This means that both whales and cats are mammals, but fish are not mammals. Animals that are in the same class are more closely related than animals that are not. Therefore, whales and cats are more closely related than whales and fish. Identify the claim* A: A whale is more closely related to a cat than a fish. B: Both whales and cats produce milk and are warm blooded. Fish are cold blooded and do not produce milk. This means that both whales and cats are mammals, but fish are not mammals. C: This means that both whales and cats are mammals, but fish are not mammals. Animals that are in the same class are more closely related than animals that are not.
