Question 10 What term describes the forelimb bones of a bird, bat, horse, whale and human? Question options: synapomorphy analogous homologous apomorphy Hide Feedback Great job. Question 11 Which assumption of cladistics is correctly stated? Question options: There are multiple universal last common ancestors (LUCA). Traits remain homologous and unchanged from one state to another. The polarity of a character state change can be determined. Speciation can produce two to four new species. Hide Feedback There are three primary assumptions of cladistics. Read more in Chapter 12. Question 12 How has molecular systematics changed the how organisms had been classified? Question options: Molecular systematics has confirmed earlier classifications. Sometimes errors are uncovered and taxa are reclassified from molecular systematics. Morphologic homology has allowed for the calibration of a molecular clock. Classification has reverted to the Linnean system based on molecular systematics. Hide Feedback Molecular systematics uses molecular information including DNA sequencing to study the relationships between organisms. Read more in Chapter 12.
