How might you recontrust the ancestral state of mammal tow number?a) investigate the number of toes on all extant horses and apesb) investigate the number of toes for other mammals and use parsimony to deduce the ancestral statec) investigate the number of toes for an outgroup that is closely related to mammals, for example reptiles or amphibiansd) either b or ce) all of the abovearrow_forward)Approximately how far back in time does the fossil record extend? 3.5 million years 5.0 million years 3.5 billion years 5.0 billion years -) How could the duplication of the Hox gene complex help facilitate animal adaptive radiation? The new gene copies helped facilitate the evolution of more complex body plans. The new gene copies helped facilitate the evolution of smaller bodies. The new gene copies led to lower metabolic rates. It is unlikely that gene duplication events in the Hox complex played a role in the adaptive radiation animals. ) Whatever its ultimate cause(s), the Cambrian explosion is a prime example of mass extinction evolutionary stasis adaptive radiation a large meteor impactarrow_forwardReferring to the phylogenetic tree shown above, answer the following questions: 1.
