Concept explainers
To explain: The way in which an individual would decide whether the new discovered organism is an animal.
Concept introduction: Animal phylogeny is the rapidly changing field for the biologists. Even if the members of animal kingdom are incredibly diverse, there are various animals sharing certain features that differentiate them from other organisms of the kingdom.
To explain: The characters that might be contribute to the decision of the individual to decide the newly discovered organism as an animal.

- Create a cladogram using the given organisms and characteristics Organisms Traits A B Hair + Amniotic egg + 4 limbs + Backbone Dorsal Finarrow_forwardWhat do scientists in the field of systematics accomplish?a. discover new fossil sitesb. organize and classify organismsc. name new speciesd. communicate between field biologistsarrow_forwardImagine you are conducting fieldwork and discover two groups of mice living on opposite sides of a river. Assuming you will not disturb the mice, design a study to determine whether these two groups belong to the same species. If you could bring them to the lab, how might that affect your experimental design?arrow_forward
- What is one problem with using only anatomical features to determine how closely related organisms are?arrow_forwardChoose a challenging scientific article from a scientific journal that relates to a topic Green crab. Add the citation, source,summary,what was studied,material and method,experimental design, your opinion about the article and what was concluded.arrow_forwardHere are 9 fish species. Use the accompanying dichotomous key to identify the Genus and species of each.arrow_forward
- Create a cladogram for these organisms and explain how they are related Earthworm - tuna - lizard - mouse - humanarrow_forwardYou will sketch a cladogram for the named organisms below. I do not expect you to know all the unique features of each organism or which features are more important than others (yet). However, when you create branches you must indicate what characteristic (trait) you chose to make the splitting decision. Just state the trait on the cladogram. The interpretation will come later. (A) Create a cladogram for the following organisms: amoeba, panda, chameleon, salamander, trout, leech, sea anemone (B) From your cladogram select two organisms that would form a MONOPHYLETIC group and a second two that could form a PARAPHYLETIC group. Define each term. (C) You don't have to draw one, but explain how a Phylogenetic tree of thesearrow_forwardWhat makes primates such a special group of organisms?

- Compare Lamarckian vs. Darwinian Evolution through illustration. You mayuse different animals of your interest.arrow_forwardWhich of these pairs are examples of analogous structures? Select all that apply. Butterfly wings and pterosaur wings Shark fins and whale flippers Penguin flippers and reptile forelimbs Bat wings and human forelimbsarrow_forwardMan appealed to the laboratory in Middle Asia. He lived in village in the pise-walled house and found arthropods in the house wall chinks. These arthropods characterized with the oval oblong body with the pointed end. Their body color was dark-gray; mouth parts were located ventrally and weren't visible from the backside. The number of walking legs of animals is four pairs. What is the Latin name of this arthropod? Select one: a. Ixodes persulcatus b. Sarcoptes scabiei c. Ornithodoros papillipes d. Ixodes rinicus e. Dermacentor nuttalliarrow_forward
