This phylogenetic tree shows that: All of these Elephants evolved from hyraxes. Tapirs are the most highly evolved mammals in this group. Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cetaceans than they are to pigs. Pigs are the common ancestors of cetaceans and hippopotamuses.
The images below exhibit Y-5 molars. The left comes from a chimpanzee and the other is a zoomed-in image of Y-5 molars in a human. Why do these primates share the trait for Y-5 molars? Mark the best answer. Group of answer choices Unclear, cannot determine from the information given. Both inherited this trait from their common ancestor, which also had Y-5 molars. Convergent evolution, since both separately evolved Y-5 molars to adapt to dietary pressures. Random mutations, since having Y-5 molars is abnormal in these species of primate.
