Introduction:
Clade refers to a grouping that includes an ancestor and all of its descendents.
Answer to Problem 1TYU
Correct answer:
The bilaterian is the clade that contains the greatest number of animal species. Therefore, option (B) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
The division of body into two equal halves and presence of three germ layers are the shared derived characters that define the clade “Bilateria”. This clade comprises the most of the animal phyla and it members.
Option (B) is given as “the bilaterians”.
As,” the bilaterian is the clade that contains the greatest number of animal species”, it is the right answer.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
Reason for the incorrect statements:
Option (A) is given as “the vertebrates”.
The vertebrates are those animals that are characterized by the presence of notochord, pharyngeal gill slits, dorsal nerve cord and post-anal tail. They do not comprise the greatest number of animal species. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (C) is given as “the deuterostomes”.
The deuterostomes are those animals that develop anus first and mouth later and they do not comprise the greatest number of animal species. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (D) is given as “the insects”.
The insects are hexapod animals with two pair of wings, exoskeleton and antennae, and they do not comprise the greatest number of animal species. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.
The bilaterians is the clade that contains the greatest number of animal species.

Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together.
