Group 10: Subset E
1. How are phylogenies useful for classifying organisms?
Phylogenies are useful in classifying organisms as you can trace back common ancestors by looking into traits of features of a species to determine relatedness of each species to other species.
2. Why are they useful for asking scientific questions about the evolutionary history of traits and/or organisms?
The use of phylogenies is an organized way to look at relatedness of different species and conditions of their environments as well as tracing specific traits and where those traits evolved from. Phylogenies allow the relatedness to be examined using synaphomorphies to draw the progression of evolution that has occurred over time. They also useful in examining homoplasy and secondarily lost characteristics that have occurred in organisms throughout time.
3. What are “reasons for uncertainty” when inferring phylogenies? In other words, what can happen over evolutionary time that might cause us to “get it wrong” – i.e. make the wrong inference about relatedness among taxa? a. Divergence - Divergence can make it difficult to decipher if or how closely two organisms are related due to the two species having drastically different adaptations or traits.
b. Convergence - Two species that do not have a common ancestor can have many similar traits. c. Extinction - Extinction can create gaps in our knowledge of how evolution has occurred through time
which can sometimes be important links between different taxa.
d. Secondary Loss/Reversal of Characters - Secondarily lost traits or reversals can be a reason for uncertainty when inferring phylogenies. Secondarily lost traits are derived traits that are lost which can make taxa in an in-group appear to be distantly related when in fact they are not.
4. For each of the “reasons for uncertainty” when inferring phylogenies: can you give an example from vertebrates
a. Divergence - The arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) and the Fennec fox (Vulpes zerda) are an example of divergence. The arctic fox has adapted to have thick fur that is white in the winter to help it keep warm and camouflaged with the snow in its arctic biome. The fennec fox has developed to be much smaller and have large ears to help with excess body heat in its dessert biome, and has a sandy colored fur coat to blend in with the sand.
b. Convergence – Cephalopods and vertebrates have very similar eye structure.
c. Extinction - Tiktaalik, which were an aquatic fishlike animal, have been extinct for a long time so very little is known about their lineage. d. Secondary Loss/Reversal of Characters - Whales and dolphins are a good example as they did have ancestors that make it on to land and then those ancestors went back to the water and overtime became the whales and dolphins.

Hello, I need help answering number 5 questions using the phylogeny below pls & thank you!
5.a) In the 1990s, when only mitochondrial DNA sequencing was available, geneticists claimed that there was no hybridization between humans (Homo sapiens) and Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis). Does the phylogeny shown above support the claim humans did not hybridize with Neanderthals in the past? How can you tell?
b) Once nuclear DNA sequencing became fast and able to handle sequencing ancient DNA, living humans were found to have some Neanderthal genes. Is this finding clear evidence that some early modern humans did indeed hybridize with Neanderthals? Why?
c) Did female H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal males to produce fertile offspring that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this?
d) Did male H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal females that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this?

Why was modern classification invented?
O Traditional classification could not classify all living things.
Scientists realized related organisms do not share similar characteristics.
Scientists understood that species share a common ancestor

TRUE OR FALSE
1. The science of cladistics produces a system for naming and classifying organisms.
2. The broadest categories in the system of classification, bellow kingdom level, are called phyla.

Animal Diversity Lab Activity:
For this lab activity, you will create a
phylogenetic tree with 20 Sponge Bob
Characters and 35 different "shared
derived characteristics" for members of
the Animal Kingdom. Note if there are
any instances of convergent evolution in
these characteristics.
You can do this activity ANY WAY you
want. Your tree can be made by drawing it
by hand or by creating it in Powerpoint,
Canva, or by sorting and connecting the
Spongebob PDFs in a large space and
taking a photo.

6. The theory of acquired characteristics is the concept of Wallace.
7. Vestigial organs are structures that have a particular use before

Bthink this is so?
3.What do the“tips"and“branches"of a phylogenetic tree
represent?

5.Compare and contrast traditional and phylogenetic classification systems.
(a)What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
(b)Think of an example of when it would be useful to use a traditional classification.Why would this system be the best choice in this case?
(c)Think of a situation where it would be useful to use phylogenetic classification system.Why would this system be the best choice in this case?
6. Traditional and phylogenetic classification systems usually place species in the same groups. For example,both systems place lions and tigers together,and horses.

1. At the beginning of the virtual lab, you were asked to sort eight lizards into categories. What
criteria did you initially use to make your groups? Did you revise your criteria later? Why?
2. An adaptation is a structure or function that is common in a population because it enhances the
ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment. Provide one example and an
explanation of one adaptation in the Anolis lizards.
4. What is an ecomorph? Provide one example from the virtual lab.
