Which of the following statements is BEST supported by the phylogenetic tree?
A
The development of a bony skeleton was a significant evolutionary step for ocean-dwelling animals.
B
Most warm-blooded animals evolved to have hair, while cold-blooded animals did not.
C
Most land animals require a vertebral column, while ocean animals do not.
D

In the Laboratory Exercise from Lab 7.
Hylobates is chosen as the outgroup. Why?
a. The genus Hylobates morphologically
resembles the genera Pongo and
Sivapithecus.
b
The genus Hylobates is taken to
represent the primitive condition for
apes.
c. The genus Hylobates represents the
derived condition for all Old World
monkeys.
d. The genus Hylobates represents the
derived condition for apes.
e. none of the above
Cladistic principles suggest that:
a.
All apes are hominins.
b.
Outgroups can help to define natural groups by showing what is primitive, and hence, what is derived.
c.
Birds are crocodiles.
d.
Species boundaries are fuzzy.
e.
None of the above is correct.
