- EVOLUTION LINK What is the common ground between evolutionary biologists and developmental biologists who have adopted the perspective known as Evo Devo?arrow_forwardDarwin’s finches (Thraupidae, Passeriformes) have beaks of different shapes that allow them to feed on many different diets: insects, seeds, berries, and young leaves. For example, large ground finch has a very deep and broad bill adapted to crack hard and large seeds, while the cactus finch has an elongated and pointy beak for probing cactus flowers and fruits. Geospiza finch bills develop their distinct shapes during embryogenesis and are apparent upon hatching. Figure below is species-tree estimation of phylogenetic relationships among the Galápagos finches using mtDNA and nuclear loci information. ***Branch lengths are proportional to time and genetic distance except for abbreviated basal node depth.*** Photographs of profiles of each species are shown. Identify all species pair(s) who have the most similar DNA sequence and clearly explain why. Would Ce. fusca and Ce. olivacea be considered as one of the pair with the most similar DNA sequence given that "branch lengths are…arrow_forwardIntroduction: Due to global warming, hundreds of polar bears have been rescued from their thawing Arctic icecap, and are being relocated to the Antarctic. A cargo ship carrying hundreds of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) has hit a submerged rock along the way and is starting to sink. While the people were rescued by the Coast Guard, the bears aboard were not so lucky, they have to swim to the nearest shore to survive. Luckily the humans released them from their cages before abandoning ship. There are 3 nearby lands which the bears can reach before they drown or get eaten by hungry sharks, but these bears are not well adapted to survive on this land. Many of them will die. They do, however, have good senses of hearing, sight, and smell, and can eat a wide variety of food; not to mention that they are highly intelligent. Over many thousands of years, random mutation and natural selection will allow some of the bears to evolve into a new species that is better adapted to survival on this…arrow_forward
