Question

The fact that amoebas are not monophyletic demonstrates that_____________ (A) movement by pseudopodia evolved only once (B) scientists need to continue to investigate the origins and evolutionary history of protists (C) evolutionary history cannot be discovered (D) eukaryotes are also not monophyletic and need to be broken into many groups

Answer 1

The fact that amoebas are not monophyletic demonstrates that scientists need to continue to investigate the origins and evolutionary history of protists

What is amoebas ?

A type of cell or unicellular organism known as an amoeba, also known as an amoeboid, has the ability to change its shape, primarily through extending and retracting pseudopods. Amoebae are found in all significant eukaryotic lineages and do not belong to a single taxonomic category. Protozoa are not the only organisms that have amoeboid cells; fungus, algae, and mammals also have them.

Any organism that moves in an amoeboid manner is referred to as a "amoeboid" or "amoeba" by microbiologists.

Most amoebae were categorized in the class or subphylum Sarcodina, a collection of single-celled animals that have pseudopods or move through protoplasmic flow, under earlier categorization schemes. Sarcodina, however, is not a monophyletic group whose members share common ancestry, as demonstrated by molecular phylogenetic analyses.
