The cladogram shown below describes the evolutionary relationship among several species, labeled A to F. The five dots represent

derived characters.
A cladogram includes a line with 5 dots. From bottom to top, the dots are labeled Trait 1 to Trait 5. Branches from the line lead to tips labeled A to F. Labels C and D are at the ends of very short branches off a longer branch.


The cladogram supports which of these predictions about the genomes of the six species?


A. The genome of species E is equally similar to the genomes of species D and F.

B. The genome of species E is more similar to the genome of species F than to any of the other species.

C. The genomes of species C and D are nearly identical because neither species has a derived character.

D. The genomes of the six species share few, if any, DNA sequences.

(You will find the cladogram in the attaches files)

Answer:

C. The genomes of species C and D are nearly identical because neither species has a derived character.  

Explanation:

A Cladogram is a<em> tree-type graph</em> based on <em>cladistic analysis</em>. It represents the common ancestral relationships among the involved groups.

  • The tree-type graph is a ramified diagram that represents the relationship between the involved taxa.
  • The cladistic analysis follows the maximum parsimony criterium. Explains the character state from the point of view of the fewest changes through history. Explains evolution with the minimal amount of evolutive changes. It recognizes the monophyletic groups as natural groups. These groups are the clades, and their classification -<em>sequencing</em>- represents their phylogeny.
  • The<em> sequencing</em> term refers to lists of groups according to their relation. One group is the brother-group of the following one.

So the cladogram represents the relationship between groups according to a derived character.

The derivated character is any trait that a group passes to the descendants. Through evolution, the characters change, and new changes are added. When referring to a derivate character, we mean that all the subsequent species in the cladogram carry the trait.

A cladogram provides an image of how new species keep characters that were inherited from older species.  

So, in the exposed example, the five dots represent derived characters, representing traits 1 to 5. Branches A to F, represent groups. (See the cladogram in the attached files). Group A inherited trait 1, group B probably still carries trait 1, but also trait 2. Groups C and D equally inherited trait 3. Group E inherited character 4, and finally, group F inherited character 5.

Groups C and D inherited trait 3 and probably also still have traits 1 and 2. So they are very similar to each other. At a certain point, they diverged, probably due to a new mutation that was not passed to the rest of the group.  

C. The genomes of species C and D are nearly identical because neither species has a derived character. Correct.

Give an example of how a biome is an open system from the point of view of the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphe
Karolina [17]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the biome is in fact an open system due to the interactions between the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere.

<h3>What is the biome?</h3>
  • The biome is the collection of air, soil, water, and all the organisms that reside within these ecosystems.
  • In order to describe an open system, we say that the system must have external interactions.
  • A biome is an open system because it has both internal and external interactions, such as with asteroids in space.
  • The internal interactions include the ones between the<em><u> biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere.</u></em>
  • A prime example is the movement of water through each of the spheres.

Therefore, since each part of the biome interacts with each other as well as with external sources such as space, we can confirm that it complies with the definition of an open system.

How does soil affect the surface of the earth
Blizzard [7]

The type of soil varies from place to place on our planet and can even vary from one place to another in your own backyard. Soil erosion, caused by wind and rain, can change land by wearing down mountains, creating valleys, making rivers appear and disappear.
