47. This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals

Fed [463]

Complete question:

This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among some mammals based on homologous structures.

(You will find the cladogram in the attached files)

Which statement is supported by this cladogram?

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales.

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

Answer:

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

Explanation:

A cladogram is a branched diagram of characteristics shared by the organisms of a group, that represents the most probable evolutive history of the linage. Cladograms reflect the phylogenetic relationships among groups through phylogenetic trees.

In the phylogenetic tree, the taxonomic groups of interest are located in the extremes of the lines called branches. The ramification point, which is also called "node" or divergence point, represents the location of the most recent common ancestor.

The common ancestor position will determine how related are two species. If they have a recent common ancestor, they are closely related to each other. On the other hand, if the common ancestor is not recent and is located far away in the tree, then the two species will be less related to each other.

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas. TRUE. Hippopotamuses share a common more recent ancestor with cows than with javelinas. This means that the hyppopotamus is more related to cows than to javelinas. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Cows, and the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Javelinas.

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses. FALSE. Tooth whales are more related to the hyppopotamus. Their common ancestor is more recent than the common ancestor between toothed whales and mouse deer. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestors.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales. FALSE. They are equally related.

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

FALSE. They are equally related.

A balance is best used to measure a sample’s _______. a. volume b. length c. mass d. size

slamgirl [31]

A balance is best used to measure a sample's mass.

Answer: C

Explanation:

Weighing balance refers to a measuring instrument which is used to measure the mass of the sample.

It has two pans. On one pan, the material to be weighed is placed, with adequate known loads on the other one to such an extent that the shaft will be in balance.

The distinction between the zero perusing and the perusing with the dish stacked demonstrates the contrast between burdens in scale divisions.

Such an instant weighing needs the arms be of equivalent length.

One of the traits that we looked at in class was a widow's peak (has peak is dominant, no peak is recessive). For each individua

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Explanation: 1) Individual who is bald but neither parents has a widow's peak: As having a peak is dominant and the individual is bald with parents that doesn't have the trait, the genotype is recessive, in the case ww;

2) Individual has a widow's peak: The individual's genotype can be WW, homozygous for the trait or Ww, heterozygous for the trait, depending on the genotype of the parents;

3) Individual can't roll their tongue: Being able to roll the tongue is a dominant characteristics, so if the individual can't roll their tongue means the genotype is recessive. But, there is little evidence that this trait is dominant or inheritable;

4) Individual has a widow's peak but their mother does not: In this case, the genotype of the individual is heterozygous (Ww), because the mother is recessive (ww) and the offspring has the trait, so the father must have had it;

5) If an individual does not have a widow's peak (ww), which genotype would be impossible? If this individual crosses over with another individual with the same trait, their children will be all recessive for widow's peak (ww), so there is no possibility of an offspring with the trait;

If the initial individual crosses over with an individual with widow's peak, two possiblities can occur:

If the crossover is with an individual homozygous for the trait (WW): all their children will have widow's peak with genotype Ww. So, the possibility of not having the peak is 0;
If the crossover is with an individual heterozygous for the trait (Ww), there will be a probability of 25% for the children to have genotype WW, a probability of 50% for the offspring to be heterozygous (Ww) and has the trait and probability of 25% to be recessive (ww) and therefore doesn't have the trait;
