INTERPRET DATA Imagine that you discover a new animal in a rain forest. It has an elongated, segmented body with bristles, and it has no obvious head. Where would youplace this animal in the accompanying cladogram? Support your decision. Look at the more detailed cladogram inFigure 30-6a (in Chapter 30). What additional characteristicswould help you place your animal in this cladogram? Explainyour decision-making process.
Hello, I need help with number 3 a, b, & c using the diagram below. Pls & thank you! 3. a) What features does the organism shown above have that indicate that it is our direct ancestor among the Cambrian fauna? 3. b) When the organism shown above was swimming in the Cambrian seas, it was very small compared to the apex predator (Anomalocaris), which was several feet long. What adaptations might the organism shown above have to evade predation by Anomalocaris? 3. c) A famous evolutionary biologist says that “everything in evolution is contingent”, which he explains means that events could always have turned out differently. Do you think that the survival of our direct ancestor is an example of a lucky accident that allowed the later evolution of vertebrates, including us? Why or why not? Photos reference: Futuyma, D. J., & Kirkpatrick, M. (2017). Chapter 17 The History of Life. In Evolution (4th ed., pp. 430-467). Sunderland, Massachusetts: Sinauer Associates.
1. Zoologists refer to morphological and genetic similarities in animals when investigating about their evolutionary relationships, describe how these two methods work and indicate their advantages and disadvantages (at least 2 for each method). 2. Aside from the principles of evolution, a study of the interactions of organisms with their environment is also significant in understanding Zoology. Give at least two significances of studying ecology in relation to understanding animals.

Q113: Write a short answer for each question. • Expensive Tissue Hypothesis is an important concept that accounts for which major morphological change in the hominin family tree? • What major selective pressures and resource niches are hypothesized to have led to these changes? Be sure to include specific species and their morphological features that support this hypothesis. Note: no copy, no plagiarism write your own words.
The Evolution of the Stickleback Fish. Watch the ~15 minute video, Making of the Fittest: Evolution of the Stickleback Fish (https://youtu.be/Pv4Ca-f4W9Q) and the 1 minute video “Stickleback Fish Environment” (https://youtu.be/IRqLy3Oz-oM), both from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Answer the questions that follow: True or False? Having pelvic spines is always advantageous to a stickleback. In one sentence, explain your answer. True or False? Dramatic changes in traits, such as the loss of limbs, can occur through mutations affecting a single gene. Provide evidence for your answer. Below is a simplified schematic representation of some of the genetic elements involved in the regulation of Pitx1 gene expression (from HHMI BioInteractive). The large grey rectangle represents the protein-coding region of the Pitx1 The smaller rectangles to the left (b and c) are regulatory switches (networks of regulatory genes); each one allows a specific binding protein to interact with it and…
