Answer: If one is constructing a phylogeny of reptiles using DNA sequence data of birds, mammals, amphibians or fish, the suitable outgroup to be used are mammals due to the time of divergence from other group of organisms.
Explanation: Phylogeny is used to determine evolutionary relationship between items or organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a graphical illustration of phylogenetic relationship. In phylogeny, an outgroup represent an organism that is more distantly related to other group of organisms.
In a phylogenetic tree, outgroup stands alone. It shows that the time of divergence of that particular organism is far from other group of organisms. Outgroup is used to root a tree and sometimes represent a group that is more ancestral on a tree.
It should be noted that differences in the DNA sequences of the organisms under consideration will determine which organism will serve as the outgroup.
One reason is if someone is injured and needed to use pain pills, sometimes they get addicted to it
NOT EXACT DEFINITION: Diseases that can be passed from one living organism to the other. Two examples are flu and several STIs (such as herpes). Sorry I couldn’t think of any more :)
New moon, quarter moon, full moon are what we call the lunar phases. These are consequences of the motions of the Sun, Earth and moon. Three dimensional models are useful because the face of the moon that catches the light of the Sun depending on their position at any given time could be depicted well. Circular models would be the best visuals for the lunar phases.
