Answer:

It depends on the graphics you have but:

Explanation:

The theory of one colonization and then radiation should see as only one group on your phylogeny, all branches come from a single point.

Now, convergent evolution means that in different islands the same morphologic pattern is seen BUT not come from the same ancestor. This means that the morphologic pattern was built under the island conditions and NOT as colonization from another island

If there is one colonization and then radiation all islands have to have their own phylogeny and same morphs on each phylogeny to be convergent.

which structure in the female reproductive system is comparable to the external reproductive organs in males
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
They are the same in that most of the reproductive organs of both sexes develop from similar embryonic tissue, meaning they are homologous. Both systems have gonads (male have testes and female have ovaries) that produce gametes (testes produce sperm and ovaries produce egg or ovum) and sex organs.

1. A student is completing a Punnett square for a trait (X/x) that is autosomal and inherited by the dominant allele. The father
zvonat [6]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

autsomsal means that it is not x-linked/ realted to gametes. Dominate means that it needs only one X to get the trait

Using the punnet square

             X       x

      x     Xx   xx

      x     Xx   xx

there is 2 X which means there is a 50% change that their child will get the trait
