Animal Phylogeny

Cladistics is a method of biological classification where organisms are classified based on their ancestors and their relationship with them. It is defined as the concepts and methods for determining the branching patterns of evolution and evolutionary history. Some scientists, however, have preferred the term phylogenetic systematics or phylogenetic taxonomy to emphasize the reliance on a phylogeny for classification. It is the most common and accepted method for classifying organisms.

species survive in its new location?
OA.
The fur of the rabbit species becomes shorter over time.
OB.
Over time, the rabbits of the species stop growing any fur.
OC.
The fur of the rabbit species changes over time from brown to black.

Please help me simply explain this so that my classmates can easily understand it during my presentation. "Studies have demonstrated that IAS could alter the evolution of native species by competitive exclusion, niche displacement, predation, and ultimate extinction (MacKinnon, 2002)." Thank you very much.
67)A small population of wolves is geographically isolated from the next closest population which is more than 200 km away. A disease outbreak kills half of the population, and soon after, the wolf population is decreased by another 25% by trappers. The population is then protected but fails to recover and show high levels of pup mortality. What is this population likely experiencing? Disruptive selection Maladaptive gene flow Purifying selection The founder effect An extinction vortex
Modern humans over-eat sugar because we love it so much. One might ask, “why are we designed by evolution to love sugar when sugar is so bad for us?” How does the concept of the “environment of evolutionary adaptation” (EEA) help us explain this and some otherwise puzzling behaviors of modern humans? Please explain EEA first.
https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/news/110301_pcbresistantcod (ARTICLE LINK) QUESTIONS: 1. Review the process of natural selection. Use the steps to explain how PCB resistance became so common among tomcod in the Hudson. Be sure to include the terms mutation, fitness, selective pressure, and adaptation in your explanation. 2. In this blog post, the author describes the tomcod as "a quick learner" because of the population's adaptation to PCBs. Is "learning" an accurate way to describe the change in the Hudson River tomcod population? Why or why not? 3. The data shown on the map above support the hypothesis that natural selection for PCB resistance has occurred among tomcod in the Hudson. What sort of evidence regarding gene frequencies in different populations would argue against this hypothesis (i.e., imagine what the scientists would have observed in this study if natural selection on the AHR gene had not occurred among Hudson River tomcod)? 4. Why is it not accurate to…

37. When 2 different species are competing for a resource, in the absence of other factors, one will usually win because the competition is asymmetrical. That is because: One species usually cheats. Populations have different numbers of individuals. Different species have different morphologies (how they look) and physiologies (how they function). All of the choices are true.
Question 20 How do new species arise, according to the theory of natural selection? when an old species goes extinct, a new species arises to take its place ) individuals in a population pass on new traits they have acquired during their lifetimes (3) two new species spontaneously branch off from ancestor populations from time to time if a population is reproductively isolated in a sufficiently different ecosystem for an extended period of time, it will develop adaptations that will eventually render it incapable of interbreeding with its host population
