Constructing phylogenies is not as simple as grouping organisms with similar characters together. Identify situations in which s

imilar characters must be IGNORED.
-similar characters are derived
-similar characters evolved owing to convergent evolution
-similar characters evolved owing to gene flow
-similar characters are ancestral

Answer

similar characters evolved owing to convergent evolution; similar characters are ancestral

Explanation:

Convergent evolution happens when two organisms belonging to different species, living at different times or different continents but the same biome develop analogous structures hence making them appear similar.  The analogous structures were not present in the known ancestors of both groups.

Therefore convergent evolution is ignored during constructing phylogenies

Also similar characteristics that are ancestral are ignored.

How do shore crabs survive wave action
svetoff [14.1K]
Shore Crabs survive wave action by their shells and their strong claws. When a wave is coming they use their claws to the sand to get grip so the wave won't pull them away, they use their shells in case a rock or something hard in the waves come their way

In which isotope is the strong nuclear force not strong enough to balance electrostatic forces between protons? Carbon-13 hydrog
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is "uranium-238".

Explanation:

Uranium-238, is the most abundant isotope of the element uranium. Uranium-238 has not enough nuclear force to balance electrostatic forces between protons, and as a result, it is a radioactive isotope and its losing energy because of the spontaneous breakdown of its atomic nucleus. Uranium-238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years and is used as fuel in nuclear reactors as well as for dating purposes.

Why might a phylogeny based only on molecular data show a different pattern of relationships than a phylogeny of the same taxa b
Kitty [74]

A phylogeny of the same taxa based only on morphological traits:

Some highly conserved genetic sequences can result in unrelated species appearing closely related in a molecular phylogeny, and not reflect the same pattern as the morphologic phylogeny.

Gene sequence changes may not result in morphological changes.

Gene sequences always provide more data than morphological traits.

Morphological analyses always provide more data because each morphological trait is the result of the expression of many genes.

The molecular data may be based on the analysis of introns, which aren't expressed and don't contribute to the evolutionary history of a group of taxa.

Why is molecular data more accurate?

Phylogenetic trees reconstructed from molecular sequences are often considered more reliable than those reconstructed from morphological characters, in part because convergent evolution, which confounds phylogenetic reconstruction, is believed to be rarer for molecular sequences than for morphologies
