cladogram for nine species of plants. Species A is the outgroup. Species B and C form a monophyletic clade. Species D, E, F form a polytomy. Species G is more closely related to D, E and F, than it is to B or C. Species H is basal to all of the ingroup taxa. Species I is a sister taxon to a clade containing B, C, D, E, F, G.

Using the picture below, make a phylogenetic tree. Make sure that all seven (7) creatures, including the outgroup, are on the tree and assigned their own branch. Make sure all parts of the tree are properly labeled. Circle the different clades/monophyletic groups (many will be overlapping and that's okay). ALSO, In the lineage leading to each new node, be sure to indicate the shared derived character and how it has changed (e.g., if the synapomorphy was having eyes, we would indicate this on the tree by drawing something like this no eyes > eyes). Don't forget to add the root! Finally, circle all your clades/ monophyletic groups and give them informative names like a good little systematist! Please follow all these steps to create the phylogenetic tree. Do it correctly and completely. Do not use previous versions/answers.
In a phylogenetic tree, Species 1 and 2 are distantly related to one another but are both darkly pigmented. Species 3 which is unpigmented is a sister taxon to Species 2. The common ancestor to all three species is darkly pigmented; thus, this trait in the phylogeny is considered to be a - A. homoplasy. B. synapomorphy. C. apomorphy. D. symplesiomorphy.
Each branching point in a cladogram (a) is called a root (b) represents a clade (c) represents the divergence of two or more groups from a common ancestor (d) represents horizontal gene transfer (e) marks the divergence of two kingdoms
In cladistic analysis, (a) ancestral characters are used to reconstructphylogenies (b) characters must be homoplastic (c) polyphyletic groups are preferred (d) outgroup analysis is rarely used (e) shared derived characters are the preferred evidence for relatedness
When presenting a phylogenetic tree, researchers will often indicate the level of bootstrap support for each clade. This is done by placing a percentile number along the branch leading to that clade, as in the figure above. Here, the number 80 indicates that the - A. the outgroup is a monophyletic clade in 80% of the bootstrap replicates. B. the ingroup is a monophyletic clade in 20% of the bootstrap replicates. C. the outroup is a monophyletic clade in 20% of the bootstrap replicates. D. the ingroup is a monophyletic clade in 80% of bootstrap replicates.
Which of the following is true regarding the way we define clades with characters? Select one: a. Autapomorphies are good characters to use because they describe every lineage of the clade and no other lineages b. Plesiomorphies are good characters to use because they describe every lineage of the clade and no other lineages c. Synapomorphies are good characters to use because they describe every lineage of the clade and no other lineages Please give me the correct answer quickly I will give you upvote

A phylogenetic tree is different from a cladogram in that ... Group of answer choices A: it shows that all species are not related to a common ancestor, but each has a distinct archetype. B: it represents the time scale of evolution, including where extinct species fit in. C: it uses an outgroup to compare a small group of species that exhibit similar traits D: it is not based on genetic or morphological evidence.
On the cladogram, circle the node that represents the most recent common ancestor of DINOSAURS and BIRDS.
A monophyletic group is a ______. a. phylogenetic tree b. shared derived trait c. character state d. clade
