Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1FFT
If a taxonomist constructs a rooted phylogenetic tree for a group of living species, the structure of the tree alone can be used to distinguish hypotheses of monophyly versus nonmonophyly of a particular subgroup. If monophyly is rejected for a particular subgroup, tree topology alone cannot distinguish paraphyly from polyphyly. What additional information is needed to distinguish paraphyly from polyphyly?

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

Are there any problems with the Galapagos finch species traditionally classified in the genus Geospiza? Is it correct to say that the Geospiza finch species make up a monophyletic group? If not, what is the term for the Geospiza finch species as presented in the phylogeny above.
Bony fishes, frogs, and salamanders all produces eggs surrounded by a gelatinous layer and need to be kept in water. Turtles, lizards, and birds lay eggs with thick shells that can survive on land. Turtles, lizards and birds form what kind of phylogenetic group? (paraphyletic, monophyletic, polyphyletic)

- 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.arrow_forwardPlace the homologous characteristic that arose in each branch of the phylogenetic tree. Not every characteristic will be placed.

- Are members of a clade similar because they share a common ancestor, or do they belong to the same clade because they are similar?arrow_forwardA critical concern of systematics is that the genera are , that all the species included in the genus are related to each other by a common ancestor, and that (circle one: all, most, at least half) of the descendants of that common ancestor are in the same genus. Such a genus is (circle one: polyphyletic, monophyletic).arrow_forwardhow many clades are in this tree?arrow_forward
