Answer:

The the above statements are true about out groups.

Explanation:

a. Out groups called as the more related organism that determine the evolution of the in group traits.

Plesiomorphy means the ancestral character that determines the phylogenetic evolution of an individual.For example, presence of spinal column is a plesiomorphic character of mammals that are present in fish, amphibia,reptiles, birds etc.

b. In groups are diverge from the out group but the out groups are used as a point to compare with the in groups as it is essential to determine the evolution of a trait in a phylogeny.

c. Autapomorphic traits contain distinctive characters that is unique and found in a particular taxa but not found in a any other out group taxa.

d.Out groups are less evolved as they contain ancestral features and during evolution they are replaced by advance characters that are presently in in group traits.Out group study is required to study the evolutionary relationship of the in group trait.

<u>Answer</u>:

1. C. Process one describes cloning and process two describe artificial selection

Through cloning a genetically identical individual is obtained from a single individual. Through artificial selection a hybrid between two individuals with desirable traits is obtained.

2. C. Polygenic

A trait that has a continuous variation has a polygenic inheritance pattern as it is controlled by multiple genes.

3. C. The BW mice would have black and white patches

Codominant genes will produce an individual with an intermediate phenotype as both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the heterozygote.

4. D. Polygenic

Polygenic inheritance occurs when two or more genes determine a trait that has a continuous variation. Each gene has a small effect, but all together have a cumulative effect. Examples of such patterns are height, sking color, eye color, weight etc.
