Summary Introduction

To explain: The vertebrate classes that are paraphyletic.

Introduction: Chordata is divided into Urochordata, Cephalochordata, and Vertebrata. The chordates have several characteristics such as the presence of the notochord, nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and post-anal tail. The organisms may be placed under different groups based on the presence or absence of ancestor characters.

Explanation of Solution

Paraphyletic taxon includes only common ancestors but not all of its descendants. It is known for shared ancestral characters. The fish are paraphyletic. This is because the group consist of all other vertebrates that arose within fishes and Sarcopterygii is a sister taxon. Reptiles are also paraphyletic as birds arise from it and sister taxon to crocodilians. Amphibians may be considered as paraphyletic if extinct amphibians are taken into account as they are more closely related to amniotes.

Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible.  Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population produced using single seed…
