Chapter 25.1, Problem 1CC

Can you think of another example of two different species that look very similar?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
How can we account for the extensive differences between the two species?
Suppose a new monkey species, Species A, has just been discovered.  You are a primatologist, and you are trying to determine its phylogenetic position.  You are sure its closest relatives are Species B and Species C, but you want to know which one it is more closely related to or if it is equally closely related to both.  You are using Species D, a more distant relative, as the outgroup.  You have come up with a list of ten characters you think will be useful in resolving this phylogeny, and you have determined the character state of each species for each character.  The character states are: (in image below) Estimate the phylogeny of these taxa by plotting the changes on each of the three possible phylogenies for species A, B, and C and determining which tree requires the fewest evolutionary changes. HINT: First, review the carnivorans problem in Section 4.3 of the Zimmer and Emlen textbook.  To solve the above problem, assume the outgroup has the ancestral character state for each…
n which situation would it make sense to use the morphological species concept?     When you are able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are unable to determine if they interbreed     When working with fossils from extinct organisms     When you only have genetic data about each organism in your study     When you are not able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are able to collect reproductive data
