SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY

Herbivory (plant eating) has evolved repeatedly in insects, typically from meat-eating or detritus-feeding ancestors (detritus is dead organic matter). Moths and butterflies, for example, eat plants, whereas their "sister group" (the insect group to which they are most closely related), the caddisflies, feed on animals, fungi, or detritus. As illustrated in this phylogenetic tree, the combined moth/butterfly and caddis fly group shares a common ancestor with flies and fleas. Like caddisflies, flies and fleas are thought to have evolved from ancestors that did not eat plants.

Show a phylogenetic tree that reflects the evolutionary relationships between  the following taxa.  All of the taxa should be on one (1) tree; var. stands for variety, a subspecific taxon (just as a genus can contain several to many species, a species can include several varieties). Family Fagaceae Quercus rubra var. rubra Red oak Quercus rubra var. borealis northern red oak Quercus velutina  Black oak Fagus grandifolia  Beech Castanea dentata  American chestnut Castanea pumila var. pumila  Chinquapin Castanea pumila var. ashei Coastal chinquapin Family Betulaceae Betula nigra  River birch Betula papyrifera  Paper birch Corylus cornuta  Beaked hazel-nut Corylus americana  American hazel-nut    asap please

Constructing a Phylogenetic Tree Now, you are going to create and the interpret your own phylogenetic tree. Take a look at the characteristics for these organisms. Plant Group Photosynthesis? Seeds? Water-conducting Tissue? Flowers? Ferns X Gymnosperms Mosses Angiosperms X Using the characteristics from the table above, determine where each of these organisms belongs on the tree below, then answer the questions. D A В Being able to do photosynthesis is an example of a: O shared derived character O shared ancestral character
