Summary Introduction
To explain: The scientific inquiry of herbivore evolutions by adaptive radiation.
Introduction: The evolution of many species from a single ancestor is termed as adaptive radiation. It is a continuous process, where the diversification of species is in a common ancestral line. Species from a single ancestor can get fragmented into different subpopulations when isolated geographically and exposed to different environmental conditions. The species in a new habitat could establish their role in a new environment and become different from the common ancestor.

The Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus was the first taxonomist to argue that, contrary to Aristotle:
humans and horses should be classified in the same kingdom (Animalia)
humans and apes should be classified in the same order (order Anthropomorpha, or Primates)
humans and goats should be classified in the same kingdom (Animalia)
humans and cats should be classified in the same order (order Anthropomorpha, or Primates)
humans and dogs should be classified in the same kingdom (Animalia)
Make phylogenetic tree with this organisms: Gray whale,Ginger, Peacock, Tiger, Rice, Cat, Pineapple, Crocodile, Box jellyfish, Bamboo

Four of the following examples provide support for this prediction, but one is irrelevant. Which of examples listed below does not support the claim that species are related? O A. Many dinosaurs and other organisms went extinct following a huge asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous. O B. All prokaryotes and eukaryotes use DNA to carry their genetic information. OC. Before synthetic insulin was available, diabetics used injections of purified pig insulin to manage their disease. O D. Ground squirrel species found on the North and South sides of the Grand Canyon are very similar to each other. O E. The endostyle of lancelets (invertebrate chordates) and the thyroid gland of vertebrates develop similarly, and both produce iodinated proteins. «< Question 5 of 120 A Moving to another question will save this response. 11:51 AM 12/16/202 End F10 pgUP F11 PgDn F12 Home PrtScn F8 DII F5 F7 F6 F3 F4 F2 & #3 2$ 7 8 9.…arrow_forwardWhich of the phylogenetic trees below represent the same evolutionary relationships?

Taxa located at adjacent tips of the branches are always more closely related to each other than to other taxa on the tree. Therefore, a species is always equally related to the taxon on the branch immediately to the right it and the taxon on the branch immediately to the left of it The branch lengths always represent the amount of morphological change between taxa The internal nodes (branching points) of the tree represent the most recent common ancestors of the taxa connected by the branches The position of taxa on the tree is completely arbitrary and does not reflect their evolutionary relationshipsarrow_forward
