A cladogram of six species is shown.
Based on the cladogram, what characteristic is common among salamander, turtle, and leopard?
(a)
A cladogram of five species is shown.
Based on the cladogram, the ancestral species most likely had (a) .
Researchers analyzed a cladogram of different species to determine relatedness.
Based on the cladogram, which set of species is the LEAST related?
Lamprey and Leopard
Tuna and Turtle
Salamander and Leopard
Turtle and Leopard
Researchers analyze the mitochondrial gene of four different bat species to determine relatedness. A cladogram of their results is shown.
Based on the cladogram, which bat species are the MOST related?
Select TWO answers.
Megaerops niphanae
Cynopterus sphinx
Haplonycteris fischeri
Octopteropus cartilagonodus
Look at the cladogram shown.
Which of the following mammals is closely related to pig?
(a)
The cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals based on homologous structures.
Which statement is supported by this cladogram?
Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.
Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses.
Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales.
Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.
Scientist can determine the relatedness among organisms by comparing their partial amino acid sequences. The table shows four partial amino acid sequences from four organisms.
Which organism is the LEAST related to the other three organisms?
(a)
The limbs of several organisms are shown in the illustration. Scientist sometimes compare the limbs of these organisms to look for evidence of common ancestry.
These limbs provide evidence of common ancestry because they have the same basic (a) .
Zoogeographic regions are characterized by the presence of specific groups of animals. These regions are determined by the taxonomic or phylogenetic relationships of animals. The map shows the zoogeographic regions proposed by the naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in 1876.
The similarities of organisms in which two areas numbered provide the best evidence for common ancestry between the organisms in both locations?
Select correct TWO answers.
Area 1
Area 2
Area 3
Area 5
Area 4
