diversity of life and classification and cladistics

scienticts studied differences in the base sequences of a gene found in five animal species in order to determine evolutionary relationships. what can be deduced form this graph

y and z have a more recent common ancestor than w and x

the cladogram shows four clades. what conclusion can be drawn from the cladogram

crocodiles are more closely related to birds than to other reptiles

what can be deduced from this cladogram

humans and chimpanzees are more closely related to each other than to gorillas and baboons

the cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships between a number of animal groups. what can be concluded from this cladogram

crocodiles are more closely related to birds that to whales

the table shows the approximate genome size of four species of organisms

the genome size does not always indicate the complexity of the organism

the table compares rRNA sequences of two organisms from each of the three domains by showing an association coefficient. the more similar the rRNA sequences of the organisms, the larger the coefficient. what can be concluded from the graph

e. coli and b. firmus are in the same domain

the diagram shows a cladogram for part of the animal kingdom. which group does not represent a clade

4 to 7

the scattergraph shows the genome sizes of four enterococcus species. what can be concluded about the genomes in enterococcus

e. pallens has the greatest number of genes

data regarding the presence or absence of five traits in several different species are shown in the table. which cladogram best represents the relationship between the five species.

a

where can the entire genome of an organism be found

in DNA present in the nucleus and mitochondria of an animal cell

the cladogram shows one theory of how species of hominin evolved. what can be deduced using the information in the cladogram

h. sapiends and p robustus shared a common ancestor

what information can be deduced from the sequence of nodes in a cladogram

the probable sequence of divergence among species in the cable

the cladogram shows some major orders of placental mammals and is based on biochemical evidence. which conclusion can be drawn form evidence in the cladogram

cetacea are less closely related to sirenia than to primates
