True or false. The absence of a trait cannot be used as a synapomorphy in phylogenetic analysis

Biology
1 answer:
kolbaska11 [484]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Phylogenetic analysis is a means of establishing evolutionary relationships.

Synapomorphy is a shared ("syn") character that is different from the form found in an ancestor that distinguishes a clade (monophyletic group)from other organisms

The absence of a trait can be used as a synapomorphy in phylogenetic analysis. For example, the loss of a trait, such as the loss of legs in snakes, can be a valuable synapomorphy for a clade.
