Question

Module Two

Answer 1

Answer:

Please read the explanation seeing the phylogeny attatched

Explanation:

a. is true. When you read a phylogeny you do it from tips to roots, tips that are close together come from the same node. All Anolis come from the same node, and Anolis genus and Leiocephalus genus share a common ancestor more distant than all Anolis.

b. If you see the tree, A. cristellatus and A. evermanni share a common ancestor, and the group that contains A. cristellatus and A. evermanni, share a common ancestor with A. occulatus. So A. cristellatus and A. evermanni are closely related among them than with A. occulatus

c and d. In the figure with colors, if lizards of the same body are closely related to each other than to lizards of different body types, your phylogeny should be colored by body shape. If not, your phylogeny should be colored by island (I use another group phylogeny to illustrate, but you should see the patterns on you phylogeny)
