Answer:

The correct answer will be options-

1. A human is more closely related to a mouse than a kangaroo.

2. A platypus is more closely related to kangaroo than a mouse.

3. A human and a kangaroo share common features because of a common ancestor.

Explanation:

A phylogenetic tree is the representation of the organism representing its ancestry with its common ancestors at the end.

In the following question, the figure represents that humans and mouse originated from the common ancestors or they had common ancestors.

The ancestor of mouse-humans and kangaroo shared their ancestor and are closely related.

Since a platypus shared a common ancestor with the ancestors of kangaroo, therefore, they are more closely related.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Answer:

The options

a. sympatric speciation; vicariance

b. allopatric speciation; vicariance

c. sympatric speciation; dispersal

d. allopatric speciation; dispersal

The CORRECT ANSWER IS d.

d. allopatric speciation; dispersal

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation takes place either via dispersal, when some members of a species shifts it's habitat to a separate geographical area which leads to differentiation of the initial group into separate diverse varieties or species(as in our case study).

Allopatric speciation through dispersal could results in multiple speciation leading to an individual original species producing diverse new species; this occurrence is called adaptive radiation.

In some scenario, a population of an individual species disperses all over a region with each locating a separate niche or isolated habitat. In the course of time, the diverse demands of their just formed lifestyles causes multiple speciation events that comes from a singular species.
