• Arthropoda

• Magnoliophyta

What is the characteristic of a rooted phylogenetic tree? Phylogenetic tree is one

________________.

• that extends back to the origin of life on earth.

• at whose base is located the common ancestor of all taxa depicted on that tree.

• that illustrates the rampant gene swapping that occurred early in life’s history.

• that indicates our uncertainty about the evolutionary relationships of the taxa depicted in

  the tree.

Which of the following is true about unrooted phylogenetic trees?

 

• Has a single lineage at the base.

•  They show the ancestry relationship.

•  They show relationships among organisms.

•  They show relationship but not lineage between species.

Which of the following is NOT part of a taxonomist role?

• Assigning a scientific name.

• Classifying ornamental plants.

• Identifying an unknown flowering plant.

• Explaining the relatedness of plants in different locations.

How will you use biogeography as an evidence to infer evolutionary relationship?

• Organisms living closer at each other and sharing the same niche are also closely related

  to each other.

• The unique characteristics of the organisms living on a secluded area is indicative of their

  ancestry and speciation.

• Biogeography revealed that organisms with similar developmental pattern even if found at

  different places might once live together before they were separated due to natural        events or forces.

• All of the these

Which is NOT true about fossils?

• They suggest that life has a history.

• They are proofs of life in the past.

• The older the fossil, the less it looks like modern day species.

• They seem precisely like modern-day species, regardless of their age

The following are the pieces of evidence of evolution that may be used to infer the evolutionary relationship between organisms, EXCEPT _________________.

                   

                                 

• Comparative Anatomy   

• Fossil record  

• Molecular Bonds

•    Embryology
