Part 1: Use this image to describe the relationship between H, F. and D, including how closely they are related to each other, and determine the most recent common ancestor for these species.
Part 2: Using the above image, estimate how long ago the common ancestor for H, F, and D lived.
Part 3: Of species H, F, and D, which have gone extinct without producing any evolutionary descendants? Provide evidence to support your answer.
Using the phylogeny, which statement best explains the evolutionary relationship of birds and bats?
A. C is an example of divergent evolution shows a common ancestor.
B. C is an example of convergent evolution does not show a common ancestor.
C. A and B are examples of analogous structures derived from a common ancestor.
D. A and B are examples of homologous structures that are not derived from a common ancestor.
Adaptive radiation is when populations diverge from a common ancestor into new species,
each of which is adapted to its own unique niche. Provide evidence to highlight an example as to how this may have occurred in some of the species of penguins.
