Currently, two of the living elephant species (X and Y) are placed in the genus Loxodonta, and a third surviving species (Z) is

placed in the genus Elephas. Assuming this classification reflects evolutionary relatedness. Draw the most accurate evolutionary tree.

Answer:

Explanation:

The evolutionary tree is composed of,

  • Lineages → These are the taxonomic groups of interest placed in the extremes of the lines called branches ⇒ Elephant species X, Y, Z
  • Nodes → These are the ramification points, which are also known as divergence points. They represent the location of the most recent common ancestor ⇒ The red spot in the graph shows the location o the most recent ancestor between species X and Y
  • Root → This is the older common ancestor that all lineages share. The first one in the tree ⇒ The blue spot in the graph show the oldest common ancestor shared by the three species

Two or more lineages are more related to each other if they share a recent common ancestor -In this example, X and Y are more related to each other-. This means that they all diverge from the same node.

Two or more lineages are less related to each other if they lack a recent common ancestor. This is, the node from which these lineages diverge is placed far away in the tree.

<h2>(Answer 1 points 3)</h2><h2>A. Taxon</h2><h3>3. the categories used in classifying organisms.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

In other words, we can also say that taxon is also known as a taxonomic group of any rank, such as a species, family, or class. It is a group of one or more than one different populations of an organism or the organisms viewed by taxonomists to make a system. These are the rules for naming new animals.

<h2>(Answer 2 points 3)</h2><h2>B. Taxonomy</h2><h3>1. the science of the classification of organisms.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

A taxonomy is said to be a scheme of classification or in other words, we can also define the term taxonomy as the branch of science involved with classification, especially of organisms, systematics. Organisms are grouped together. This science of gives name, describe and classify the organisms including all the plants, animals and the microorganisms of the world.

<h2>(Answer 3 points 3)</h2><h2>C. Family</h2><h3>4. A taxonomic category containing a group of similar genera.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

Family is the one that has been classified between order and genus. A family is also divided into the subfamilies. It is one of the eight main and important taxonomic levels. It is a primary taxonomic category of organisms ranking. This category comes on the sixth number of all the categories lies in a taxonomic group.

<h2>(Answer 4 points 3)</h2><h2>D. domain</h2><h3>2. The largest taxonomic category.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the three-domain system of taxonomy, if we talk about the domain then we would define it as the superkingdom or empire. It can also be said to be as it is the highest taxonomic rank of organisms. It is a taxonomic category above the kingdom level. There are three domain such as Bacteria, Archean, and Eukarya, which we can say are the major categories of life.

Sedaia [141]
The flooding of half part of the forest have successful separate the population of frogs in that ecosystem into two different set of frogs. This is an example of allopatric speciation, that is, the population become separated as a result of geographical barrier. This separation will make the two set of frog population to become new species. On the long run, the two species may become unable to relate sexually.
