In a comparison of birds and mammals,the condition of having four limbs is(A) a shared ancestral character.(B) a shared derived character.(C) a character useful for distinguishing birdsfrom mammals.(D) an example of analogy rather than homology.
When two organisms are very distantly related in an evolutionary sense, (a) they should have extremely similar embryonic development. (b) they must share a very recent common ancestor. (c) the sequences of DNA in their genes should be less similar (more different) than those of two more closely related organisms. (d) they should share more homologous traits than two more closely related organisms share.
(a) How do you describe the data from the amino acid sequence to anatomical features provided in the cladogram? Are they generally associated with one another?
(b) do you agree that the more differences in amino acid sequence, the more closely related organisms are, if yes does that mean they shall be group under the same biological classification?
(c) in the molecular data provided, describe how human and rhesus monkey relate with one another
(d) why do you think 30 and chicken are different species despite the fact that they have the same sequence of amino acids for cytochrome c protein?
help plssss, thank u! thank u!
