The protostome developmental sequence arose just once in evolutionary history, resulting in two main subgroups–Lophotrochozoa and Ecdysozoa. What does this finding suggest? Group of answer choices The lophotrochozoans are monophyletic. The protostomes are a paraphyletic group. Division of these two groups occurred after the protostome developmental sequence appeared. These two subgroups have a common ancestor that was a deuterostome.

which of the following features does not distinguish humans as a member of phylum chordata as opposed to other deuterostomes? human embryos exhibit pharyngeal arches in gill suits The human coccyx forms from an embryonic tail A spinal cord runs along an adult humans dorsal side human embryos undergo indeterminate cleavage
List the predominant body plan (acoelomate, pseudocoelomate, or coelomate) for members of each protostome phylum and discuss how our picture of protostome evolution would change if each body plan were a homologous character
You are trying to identify a living organism which you are observing closely. Which one of the following would convince you that the organism is acoelomate? It responds to food by moving toward it. It is triploblastic. It has bilateral symmetry. It possesses sensory structures at its anterior end. Muscular activity of its digestive system distorts the body wall. The flatworms have a true coelom a pseudocoelom radial symmetry tissues derived from the three basic germ layers (i.e. they are triploblastic) need help with both questions for my HW please thank you!
Which of the following animal groups is triploblastic, has deuterostome development, and has a digestive system, a nervous system, and an excretory system, but does not have a vertebral column? the acoelomate flatworms (like the planaria) the cephalochordates (like the lancelet) the poriferans (like the calcareous sponges) the coelenterates (like the jellyfish) the agnathan fishes (like the sea lamprey)
Give at least (3) body structures that are salient among these groups of animals: Protozoans Poriferan Cnidarians
An unidentified animal is noted to possess the following characteristics: triploblastic eucoelomate body a cuticle that is shed via ecdysis To which of the following phyla does this organism belong? Group of answer choices A. Echinodermata B. Annelida C. Arthropoda D. Nematoda

The phylogenetic tree in Exercise 1 above shows an outdated relationship between Brachiopoda, Bryozoa, and Mollusca. We now know that: (1) Brachiopoda is more closely related to Mollusca; and (2) Bryozoa forms the sister-group to the clade formed by Brachiopoda+Mollusca. In the space below draw a phylogenetic tree showing the correct interrelationships among the 5 clades listed: Bryozoa: Brachiopoda: Linguliformea: Craniiformea: Rhynchonelliformea: Please include mollusca. Should be 6 classes total
What are examples of the following groups of vertebrates: Chondrichthyes, Actinopterygii, Actinistia, Dipnoi, and Tetrapoda? How many species are in each of the above groups? Which one has the most species? When did the first vertebrates appear, and when did they first live on land? Where do we find the earliest fossils of vertebrates, and where do we find the earliest fossils of terrestrial (land-living) vertebrates? What are the following and how are they related to humans: Pongo, Gorilla, Pan, Sahelanthropus, Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, Homo erectus, and Homo neanderthalensis? Which of these is our closest living relative? What are some of the traits that these organisms share with us? When and where did each of the extinct forms above live? What does this tell us about when our lineage split from the most recent ancestor we share with our closest living relative?
Which of the following taxa of fish shared most direct common ancestry with the group of animals that evolved into the terrestrial tetrapods? -Subclass Elasmobranchii -Class Neopterygii -Subclass Sarcopterygii -Class Actinopterygii -Class Chondrichthyes
