Answer:

Xiao can use these structures to create a similarity matrix that enables to differentiate between synapomorphies and homoplasies .

Explanation:

A synapomorphy is a trait that has been inherited from the same ancestor, this trait enables to establish a relation of homology between two or more species; while a homoplasy is an analog structure that doesn't have homology.

Can fossil tell us which animals lived at a certian time?
timurjin [86]
By studying the fossil record we can tell how long life has existed on Earth, and how different plants and animals are related to each other. Often we can work out how and where they lived, and use this information to find out about ancient environments.

the size difference between most multicellular hosts and their pathogens results in which of the following evolutionary advantag
professor190 [17]

Pathogens can adapt more quickly than hosts since they have higher populations and faster generation periods.

Pathogens, of course, have the advantage in this evolutionary game because they can change far more quickly than the hosts—especially in long-lived animals like humans—due to their high population numbers and rapid generation rates. The relationship between surface area and complement activation shows how bacterial pathogenicity may be influenced by tiny size. The region of the microbial surface may also have a role in their action since other antimicrobial agents are focused there. A pathogen reacts with the host and creates infection, which results in the host being ill. Any dangerous microbial agent, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and helminths, might be considered a pathogen.

Energy moves in the form of energized.......?
insens350 [35]
 <span>Actually energy is the capacity to do work. It is not moving. It is transmitted, propagated, dissippated, or radiated. It depends upon what type of energy it is. Heat energy is dissippated through conduction, convection or radiation. For conduction the particles must be in contact. For convection the particles which posses the energy must ba able to move about. For radiation, even without a material medium the energy is transmitted in the form of waves. Eg. energy from the sun. When a stone is dropped in still water the energy is imparted to the water surface. This energy is distributed all over the water surface in the form of circular waves (ripples). Electrical energy - through conducting wires or electromagnetic radiation. Light energy & sound energy are through waves.</span>
