According to Richard Owen, the forelimbs of an adult human (with hands, adapted for grasping fruit from a tree), and the forelimbs of an adult bat (with wings, adapted for flight), are both derived from the same mammalian embryological structures, so they must represent:
homologous structures, with similar embryonic anatomy, but different functions
analogous structures, with different functions, and different embryonic anatomy
analogous structures, with similar functions, but different embryonic anatomy
analogous structures, with different embryonic anatomy, and different functions
homologous structures, with different embryonic anatomy, but similar functions
The following shows the taxonomic hierarchy used to classify “human”. Write the name of the category (taxon) in each parenthesis.

- Your colleague is studying a newly discovered organism. She is becoming increasingly convinced that the organism is an arthropod. You find that you must respectfully disagree when you note that the organism has a set of distinctly non-arthropod characteristics. The features that cause you to exclude the organism from the arthropod grouping are antennae, six legs, and mandibles. pseudocoel, closed circulatory system, and ventral heart. Malpighian tubules, ommatidia, and tagmata. jointed legs, ecdysis, and an exoskeleton. compound eyes, book lungs, and a hemocoel.arrow_forwardFor each of the following sets of traits and descriptors, give the name of the most specific Primate taxon that possesses ALL of the given features. In other words, don't report a suborder or superfamily name if a family or even a genus is sufficient to include all primates sharing the three sets of traits. In each case, you will need to be no more specific than the taxa I have asked you to know for the final exam. 1) suspensory anatomy (full 360° rotation in shoulder) Y-5 molar pattern fist walking partial post-orbital closure dry nose: nostrils with internal moist membranes all members are nocturnal 2) 3) fused frontal bone no external tail IMI less than 100 4) brachiator anatomy bribban. 2:1:2:3 dental formula ischial callositiesarrow_forwardIn a comparison of birds and mammals,the condition of having four limbs is(A) a shared ancestral character.(B) a shared derived character.(C) a character useful for distinguishing birdsfrom mammals.(D) an example of analogy rather than homology.arrow_forward

- Tributyltin (TBT) is a chemical used to prevent barnacles from clinging to ships. Its use has been linked to whale deafness, where the hair cells do not function properly. Since whales depend heavily on hearing for navigation and hunting, hearing loss can lead to whales being washed ashore. Assuming that the whale ear structures are similar to those of humans, identify the structure that would be affected by TBT in the image below. Select one: a. Number Structure 7 Auditory nerve b.

Note:Depending on how you define the fins on the ventral side of the fish you could have 9 characters or 10 characters - if you define it as a numerical character with states 0,1,2 you would have 9 characters total. If you define the fins as two separate binary characters ( a pelvic fin and an anal fin) you will have 10 characters. We recommend doing it as two separate characters: Anal fin (presence/absence) and pelvic fin (presence/absence).
