The phylogeny in this figure shows the evolution of visual opsins in tetrapods. Each colored
triangle represents a different opsin. Which of the following accurately describes the opsins in
these species Squamate reptiles Birds New World Humans primates A opsin gain A Opsin loss
opsin loss Tetrapod ancestor
Solution
Synapomorphy is a character present in ancestral species and shared exclusively by its
evolutionary descendants
Symplesiomorphy is an ancestral character that is shared by two or more taxa.
Based on the choices given above the last choice is the correct answer. The green opsin was
developed in the ancestors of the baboons and human and hence the two groups share that
character. The light blue opsin was present in the tetrapod ancestor and it is now shared by the
two taxa descended from the common ancestor.
