Multiple Choice 1. A diagram that hypothesizes a set of organisms\' evolutionary relationships to one another is a a. comparison tree. b. phylogenetic tree. c. classification tree. d. taxonomic tree. e. species tree 2. By definition, a monophyletic lineage is a a. clade. lb. taxon. C. genus. d. family. e. phylogenetic tree. 3. The Class Reptilia is a group of species that share a common ancestor, but does not include all of that ancestor\'s descendants. It is therefore considered to be a. monophyletic. b. polyphyletic. c. paraphyletic. d. an outgroup. e. a mosaic. 4. are widely used for because they are the most likely indicators of evolutionary relationships. b. they are the most likely to represent reproductive isolation among groups. c. they are easy to assess in preserved, fossilized d. they are always the exact phenotypic expression of genotypes. e. they indicate genetic relatedness. 5. Characters that provide evidence for evolutionary relationship are a. homologous. b. analogous. C. taxonomic. d. convergent. e. morphological. 6. Fossils of plants found in deeper geologic layers do not show vascular tissues, while fossils in shallower geologic layers include some specimens with and some without vascular tissues. Thus, vascular ti in plants is considered a character. ancestral b. mosaic c. primitive d. derived e. physiologically essential Solution 1. B phylogenetic tree 2.A clade a group of organism have common ancestor descendant is called clade. 3.C paraphyletic, where it share common ancestor but not a clade, such as archosuria, amniota, diapsida,chelonia,lepidosauria, crocodylin 4.e to know about genetic relatedness. 5 C taxonomic character is the evidence of phylogenetic classification 6A ancestral character 7b branches of cladogram represents group of organisms share common ancestor. 8 a the crocodiles and birds share common ancestral origin. 9.e horizontal gene transfer. 10.a lemurs.. are a clade which consists of great apes..
