The absence of a particular trait does not exclude a species from a particular clade that possesses that trait because physical attributes of the species is not the basis of the groupings in the clade.

Cladistic groupings uses the evolutionary relationships among the species as its basis in grouping rather than its shared physical traits. These evolutionary relationships are called apomorphies or a set of unique features shared by all organisms in the group but not found in the distant ancestors.

Why is having a large surface area<br> important for a cell?

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

One beneficial result of a cell having a larger surface area is its ability to cover more area increasing the likely hood of nutrients coming in contact with the cell membrane. Which in turn will increase the rate at which nutrients diffuse through the cell membrane.

1/4 recessive can be expected for the recessive trait of mono hybrids from the F2 generation.

Option D

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Mono hybrid cross is defined as the crossing between two plants considering the two different alleles of a particular character. It was 1st performed by Father of Genetics, Sir Gregor Mendel. The mono hybrid cross done by him considered the character tallness of garden pea plants, of which one was tall and other was short.

He crossed them to get all tall plants in $1^{st}$ Filial generation. Now as he self bred those plants, he got the tall and short plants in ratio of 3:1. Thus he proved that the recessive trait of mono hybrids is $1/4^{th}$ of the total population of F2 generation.
