Concept explainers

Evolution
The history and science of origin and evolution comprise two events, the beginning of life and expansion of life. Our earth originated about 4.5 billion years ago. The term evolution is derived from two Latin words and means the act of unfolding or unrol…
Cladistics
Cladistics is a technique in the classification of organisms, where they are grouped into different clades. The proof for the relationships that are hypothesized is based on the shared derived characteristics known as synapomorphies. These characteristic…
Outgroups
Outgroups are significant in studying cladistics or phylogenetics (that describe the evolutionary relationship between different organisms). Further, it is also important to understand the differences and similarities between different organisms.
Taxonomy
It is the branch of biology that works with the identification of organisms at first, then naming, and classification of them into phenetic or phylogenetic groups (a classification system). In other words, it is the scientific study of biological diversi…
Phylogenetics
Phylogenetics is the scientific study of how various groups of organisms are related at the evolutionary level. It finds the relationship between various organisms based on their evolutionary similarities and differences. It is a part of the taxonomy. Al…

Summary Introduction

To classify: A newly discovered animal and explain its position in the cladogram.

Concept introduction: Deuterostomes are animals whose first opening, the blastopore formed during embryonic development differentiates into the anus. In cladogram, closely related species are often placed close together. The cladogram is the representative diagram of lineages showing nodes and the common ancestors.

Essay on (2 pages): Dogfish sharks (Squalus acanthias) represented  “primitive” gnathostomes and cats (Felis catus) represented the “derived” state.  Was this appropriate?  How does the anatomy of a cat reflect humans’ shared ancestry with sharks?
Visit the SHARK LAGOONhttps://explore.org/livecams/aquarium-of-the-pacific/shark-lagoon-cam1. Observe these sharks as they swim by. How can you tell which are males and which are females?2. Observe the sand tiger shark, which is in the same order as the white shark, i.e., a mackerel shark. How many gill slits does it have?3. Sharks are able to detect bioelectric fields of their prey. What other adaptations (morphological, behavioral, or physiological) do these sharks possess that make them excellent predators?
hello! Why can't many researches be undertaken without any living animals? why is a dish of cells not enough or using computer simulations/mathematical models?  thanks
