BIOL1307 Lecture 3 Tobola

A diagram used to reflect evolutionary relationships among organisms or a

group of organisms.

• Phylogenetic Tree

• Geological Tree

• Family Tree

• Taxonomic Tree

Concrete confirmation of past relationships can

be provided.

• True

• False

These indicate a single ancestral lineage and branching points of when divergence occurred.

• Rooted Tree

• Unrooted tree

These show that divergence has occurred, it does not speculate as to when it occurred.

• Rooted Tree

• Unrooted tree

What do the length of the branches on a phylogenetic tree represent?

• The time it took for convergence to be completed

• The time it took for divergence to be completed

• The time it took for the organism to deliver the offspring

• The organisms life span

Match the following

• when a new distinct lineage is
  thought to have emerged

• basal taxon

• When two lineages stem from the same branch

• polytomy

• When multiple lineages split from a single branch point

• sister taxa

• the one that diverged early from the root

• branch point

The field that scientists use to organize and classify

organisms based on evolutionary relationships.

• Biology

• Phylogeny

• Genetics

• Systematics

All phylogenetic trees are hypotheses, they are constantly

changing with new information.

• True

• False

The science of classifying organisms to construct internationally shared classification systems with each organism placed into increasingly more inclusive groups.

• Taxonomy

• Systematics
