The advantage of biodiversity conservation does not cover the impact on
Food supply
Fresh air
Industrial activities
Medical discovery
Predict the impact of destroyed biodiversity
Species extinction

Population growth
Evolution
The study of biodiversity is made possible through
Natural selection
Classification system
Binomial system
Specific characters
The study of biodiversity through evolutionary relationships of organism to present time is called
Taxonomy
Systematics
Phylogeny
Homology

Birds and reptiles have a common ancestor and both share the character of laying eggs. Birds have feather while reptiles produce scales over their body. In this case, predict the primitive character for birds.
Scales over the body
laying eggs
Feathers

If we compare among sheep, rabbits and whales, they are all mammals. However, sheep and rabbits are quadrupedal and have hairs. The whales oppositely have fins and pleated throat. Based on this statement, choose the primitive character for all these animals.
Warm-blooded
Cold-blooded
Pleated throat

If we compare among sheep, rabbits and whales, they are all mammals. However, sheep and rabbits are quadrupedal and have hairs. The whales oppositely have fins and pleated throat. Based on this statement, choose the unique character for whales.
Fins and pleated throat
Quadrupedal and hairy
Pleated throat and hairy
Hairy and fins
Among cats, platypus and whales, they share a character of having a vertebral column. However, platypus lay eggs. Choose the correct statement to explain the characteristics of the animals.
Laying eggs is the derived characteristics for platypus
Cats and whales share a derived character of the vertebral column.
The ancestor of cats, platypus and whales has both vertebral column and lay eggs.
The relationship between platypus and whales are closer than cats.
Cats, platypus and whales are endothermic animals and they share a character of a vertebral column. The platypus lay eggs but whales live in the marine system give birth to their offspring. Choose the possible characteristics shown by cats.
Vertebral column only
Vertebral column and lay eggs
Lay eggs and give birth to offspring
Vertebral column and constant body temperature
