1-The correct answers is C- evolutionary classification.
Evolutionary classification/taxonomy is a branch of biological classification. The objective is to classify organisms and group them based on their shared descent, progenitor-descendant relationship and degree of evolutionary change. Now this classification can be done by comparing DNA sequences of the organisms and seeing how many they have in common

2- The correct answer is A-cladistic analysis.
A cladistic analysis is focused on categorizing the organisms based on their derived characters. And what is that? that means they are getting categorized
according to their evolutionary relationships( from ancestral characters).
So, species are going to be classified according to how recent their common ancestor is. If two species have a more recent ancestor they will end up in the same group
If the common ancestor between them is far, the distance between the respective taxa will be bigger.

3- The correct answers is C.
A derived character is a characteristic that appeared throughout evolution, still remains in a lot of different taxonomic groups and allows us to identify those groups.
From the options given, C is the only correct one because the presence of hair (a derived character)  only exists in mammals( the group). Other animals don't share that trait.


4-The answer is A.
In each node, a taxon was only one but then was divided into two taxa. Therefore, each node will represent a common ancestor of the taxon.
The correct option is A because the last node or terminal node is the hypothetical last common ancestor of the taxon on the cladogram.

5-  The correct answer is A.-DNA can solve evolutionary puzzles.
Dna has been helping understand how an organism is similar to more than one species, and that way, we can classify the organism the best way possible.
This can be achieved by comparing the nucleotides of the organism we want to classify, with other species. There are databases that have all the DNA sequenced so, what's left to do is count the common nucleotides and their positions.

Imagine there was no tilt to the earths axis and earths orbit was circular
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

If the Earth was not tilted on its axis, there would be no seasons. And humanity would suffer.

Explanation:

When a Mars-size object collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago, it knocked off a chunk that would become the moon. It also tilted Earth sideways a bit, so that our planet now orbits the sun on a slant.

Hope this helps!

Iguanas are living in a relatively dry habitat. Imagine a change in the iguana's habitat from dry land to aquatic. Based on the
Sav [38]

Due to Natural Selection, it is likely that the allelic frequency would change to favor iguanas with webbed feet. Those animals with webbed feet would have an easier time navigating their environment, which gives them an advantage over those that do not. Hope this helped!

Please help!!!
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

A sequence of flowing lava, pyroclastic flows, volcanic eruptions, caldera-forming events, and earthquakes changed the landscape of Yellowstone forever. The pressure exerted by the magma chamber has resulted in measurable ground deformation in certain parts of Yellowstone known as resurgent pressure domes.

Fire Activity also causes the Yellowstone to change. As the number of very large wildfires and total acres burned annually increases, there is an increasing frequency of warm spring and summer temperatures, reduced winter precipitation, and early snowmelt in the Western United States during the last 20 years.

In 1995, the wolf population increased in Yellowstone, causing the deer population to decrease and to change their behavior. When threatened by wolves, deer graze less and move about to aerate the soil.

In the 70 years since the wolves left Yellowstone, the entire ecosystem had collapsed into chaos, with coyotes running riot, and elks overgrazing willows and aspens. Without those trees, songbirds declined, beavers could not build their dams, and riverbanks eroded.

Microorganisms also exist in the fossil record, but they’re rarer than other types of fossils. The most common fossils form from
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Organisms decompose more quickly when they are in contact with oxygen. ... When an organism is buried quickly, there is less decay and the better the chance for it to be preserved. The hard parts of organisms, such as bones, shells, and teeth have a better chance of becoming fossils than do softer parts.
