Monophyletic species are the species whose lineage belongs to the common recent phylogenetic ancestor. As mentioned in the question, the girl has 3 species namely G, H, and K. Because there is no other criteria given, we assume that the closeness of alphabets would reflect the closeness of species. Thus, G and H are closer relative than K. Therefore, if she adds <u>I, and J species</u> in the list, all of them will be closer relatives and we can say that they are monophyletic now.
After Mendel’s discoveries were
accepted, scientists realized that traits passed to offspring were the result
of genes being passed from parents to offspring. This is an example of the law
of inheritance. The genes that are passed down from the parents are being
shared by the offspring. It can be shown if the trait is recessive or dominant
from the parents’ gene.
