Question
Chapter 32.3, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The patterns of convergent evolution in significant morphological and developmental characters.

A) The sister group informs of the likely state of the common ancestor of the ingroup. B) The sister group is composed only of ancestral characters representing a primitive taxon having ancestral states for all characters able to be studied.

A) Coalescent-based methods directly model gene tree histories independently to infer the species tree in a summary-based manner, which is important for phylogenomic analysis were hundreds to thousands of gene histories are analyzed. B) Coalescent-based methods have the most advanced evolutionary models of molecular evolution, which is important for phylogenomic analysis were hundreds to thousands of gene histories are analyzed. C) Coalescent-based methods are no more important than other types of phylogenetic inference, even for phylogenomic analyses. D) None of the above.arrow_forwardA phylogeny of 5 species of birds is shown below with values for three different phenotypic traits for each species shown in the rows above (e.g., species A has a wide, long beak and red tail, while species C has a narrow, very long beak and a green tail). DNA sequencing of tissue samples found buried in a freezer confirms that an extremely rare and reclusive species (D) is a sister species of E, but preserved samples of entire individuals of species D have been lost, the original collector of the samples has passed away, and no individuals of species D have subsequently been seen in the wild. In other words, we have no idea what species D looks like. Employing the principle of parsimony, which of the following conclusions is MOST appropriate for the likely values of these traits in species D? Beak width: wide wide ?? narrow narrow Beak length: long long ?? long very long Tail colour: red blue ?? green green A E a) wide beak, very long beak, green tail b) narrow beak, long beak, all…arrow_forward

The table containing the characters and taxa is given below.arrow_forwardI am working on reconstructing the phylogenetic history of North American squirrels. I decide to use teat number as a character (trait) for inferring their phylogeny. I do some research into other squirrels and mammals and discover the following: • Mammals and other squirrels only have even numbers of teats. Teat number appears to be unrelated to any other morphologic trait. • The MRCA of all mammals, and therefore all squirrels, also had teats. Which of the following characteristics (either required of traits used in phylogenetic reconstruction, or desired) does teat number appear to have? Choose all that apply. It's mutation rate is known or estimable O It is homolgous rather than analagous It is discrete It is analagous rather than homologous OIt is quantifiable It is independent of other traits It is DNA sequence dataarrow_forwardConsider the following sample dataset of character traits for five taxa (A, B, C, D, and E) and an outgroup (O) and answer the following: Taxon, Character 1 A B C D 1 1 1 0 0 Character 2 0 0 0 1 1 0 Character 3 1 1 0 0 0 0 Character 4 1 1 1 0 0 0 (A) Identify which character traits are ancestral and which are derived, (B) Determine the two taxa most closely related to each other (C) Are any of the character traits obvious homoplasies? If so, which ones? (D) Name three taxa that if put in their own taxonomic group would be considered paraphyletic.arrow_forward
