Question

The phylogenetic tree illustrates the relationship between humans and our closest living relatives. The tree was based on biochemical comparisons, including DNA and amino acid sequences.
According to the biomolecular data, we COULD infer that

A)
the four organisms do not have a common ancestor.


B)
humans are more closely related to chimps than any other apes.


C)
chimps are more closely related to gorillas than they are to humans.


D)
there is no evidence if any relationship between the four branches on the tree.

Based on the cladogram, if moths undergo complete metamorphosis, we would MOST LIKELY infer that

A)
butterflies and flies do as well.


B)
all the insects undergo complete metamorphosis.


C)
no other insects undergo complete metamorphosis.


D)
only butterflies also undergo complete metamorphosis.

According to the cladogram, which of these were the direct ancestors of the Kingdom Fungi?

A)
Animalia


B)
Archaebacteria


C)
Plantae


D)
Protista

Trey is looking at a cell under the microscope. It is attached to many other cells, and it has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. It has no cell wall. In which kingdom should this organism be classified?

A)
Animalia


B)
Archaebacteria


C)
Fungi


D)
Plantae

A review of the cladogram shows a common ancestor for these four types of vertebrates. Which statement BEST explains the genetics represented by the cladogram?

A)
There are no genetic similarities among the four distinct types.


B)
The four types of animals no longer have any genetic similarities.


C)
Lizards and snakes are more genetically alike than lizards and birds.


D)
A common ancestor indicates that the four once had identical genotypes.

Answer 1

Hello there,

1.) According to the biomolecular data, we COULD infer that humans are more closely related to chimps than any other apes. 

2.) Based on the cladogram, if moths undergo complete metamorphosis, we would MOST LIKELY infer that butterflies and flies do as well. 

3.) According to the cladogram, which of these were the direct ancestors of the Kingdom Fungi? Protista 

4.) Trey is looking at a cell under the microscope. It is attached to many other cells, and it has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. It has no cell wall. In which kingdom should this organism be classified? Fungi 

5.) A review of the cladogram shows a common ancestor for these four types of vertebrates. Which statement BEST explains the genetics represented by the cladogram? Lizards and snakes are more genetically alike than lizards and birds. 

Hope this helps
