Summary Introduction

To determine: Thematrix of six animal species showing different vertebrate characters.

Introduction: The phylum chordate contains various divisions and among them the vertebrate forms a significant category. The division vertebrate contains Reptilia, Pisces, Amphibia, Mammalia, and Aves. The advanced animals evolved from Pisces and continued through amphibian, reptiles, birds to mammals.

Table 1: The matrix of six animal species showing different vertebrate characters.

Embryonic development is a complicated process where a vast number of genes and signaling methods are required to accurately form the differentstructures of the growing fetus. The chordates share a large number of characteristics with the deuterostomes that indicate the origin of the chordates from the deuterostomes.

The features common to both deuterostomes and chordates include the presence of radial cleavage, first embryonic opening forming the anus. The vertebrates share unique characters that demarcate them from invertebrates and these include presence of hair, tail, and amniotic sac, which is not present in invertebrates.

You do NOT need to submit graphs or data tables. Give the terminal regression line equation and R or R² value: Give the x axis (name and units, if any) of the terminal line: Give the y axis (name and units, if any) of the terminal line: Give the residual regression line equation and R or R² value: Give the x axis (name and units, if any) of the residual line: Give the y axis (name and units, if any) of the residual line:
3. In the tomato, red fruit (O+) is dominant over orange fruit (0), and yellow flowers (W+) are dominant over white flowers (w). A cross was made between true-breeding plants with red fruit and yellow flowers, and plants with orange fruit and white flowers. The F₁ plants were then crossed to plants with orange fruit and white flowers, which produced the following results: a. b. 333 red fruit, yellow flowers 64 red fruit, white flowers 58 orange fruit, yellow flowers 350 orange fruit, white flowers Conduct a chi-square analysis to demonstrate that these two genes DO NOT assort independently. Make sure to interpret the P value obtained from your chi-square test. Calculate and provide the map distance (in map units) between the two genes.
Name: Date: Investigation: Is a dog more closely related to a coyote or a wolf? Gray Wolf Species Name: Canis lupus Color: Light gray to black Size: 80-120 pounds, 2.5 feet tall Appearance: broad snout, round ears, long tail Coyote Species Name: Canis latrans Color: Light gray to brown Size: 20-50 pounds, 1.5 feet tall Appearance: narrow snout, pointed ears, long tail Dog, Alaskan Malamute Species Name: Canis lupus familiaris Color: Gray and white or brown and white Size: 70-80 pounds, 2 feet tall Appearance: broad snout, round ears, long tail 1. Examine the images and descriptions above. Underline any similarities between the dog and the wolf. Place a star next to any coyote traits that are similar to the dog. 2. Based on appearance alone, which do you think is the most closely related to a dog? www.biologycorner.com
