Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 3S
As noted in your reading, cladistics is a widely utilized method of systematics, and our classification system (taxonomy) is increasingly becoming reflective of our knowledge of evolutionary relationships. Using birds as an example, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of recognizing them as reptiles versus as a group separate and equal to reptiles.

Through the phylogenetic tree of major groups of vertebrates provided below, answer the given table by numbering and naming each node in the diagram. Then list the names of each group and write down the shared characteristic(s) of it. You may add more rows if needed.

Animal Group 1
Animal Group 2
Shared Characteristics of Animal Group 1 & 2
What are your thoughts on the followig paragraph below?
Understanding the classification of primates in this module helped me digest past modules' material on taxonomy. I learnt that there are differenet divisions, orders, and categories of primates. The two suborders of primates are Strepsirhini and Haplorhini. This furthered my understanding on what makes us human and what similarities and differences we share with other primates. I had heard of many of these factors before such as bipedalism and being able to use tools, but one I hadn't heard of is knucklewalking. This term refers to a way of walking on all 4s commonly used by African apes. It was truly interesting to see how closely we are related to monkeys from our behaviors, features, and mroe. An aha moment I had was learning about the number of primates that include 230 species. The way they are geographically spread was even more interesting. Apes are common in South Africa and South Asia even though these 2 places are…
For each of the following sets of traits and descriptors, give the name of the most specific
Primate taxon that possesses ALL of the given features. In other words, don't report a
suborder or superfamily name if a family or even a genus is sufficient to include all
primates sharing the three sets of traits. In each case, you will need to be no more specific
than the taxa I have asked you to know for the final exam.
1)
suspensory anatomy (full 360° rotation in shoulder)
Y-5 molar pattern
fist walking
partial post-orbital closure
dry nose: nostrils with internal moist membranes
all members are nocturnal
2)
3)
fused frontal bone
no external tail
IMI less than 100
4)
brachiator anatomy
bribban.

- You are a scientist trying to determine the relationship between the organisms below. On a separate sheet of paper create a cladogram that represents how these animals are related. the words below in bold, must be used on your cladogram 1. Divide the animals into two groups depending on if they possess vertebrae. 2. Divide the vertebrates into groups according whether they have an amniotic egg or not. (Hint: keep the animals who give live birth with the amniotic egg animals.) 3. Divide those who have amniotic eggs according to the presence of an exoskeleton. 4. Divide those with endoskeleton according to whether or not they give live birth. 5. Divide those with live birth depending on if they possess opposable thumbs. 6. Return to your invertebrates. Divide them according to the presence of an exoskeleton. 7. Divide those with exoskeletons according to whether they possess wings.
