BIO 322 Exam 1 Questions With Complete Solutions
A bat wing and a hummingbird wing are probably products of:
Correct Answers convergent evolution
A trait that is similar in one or more species even though they do
not share a recent common ancestor with that trait is called a
Correct Answers Homoplasy
A trait that often causes problems in constructing phylogenies
and that can arise in both morphological and molecular data in
non related branches of a phylogeny is called? Correct Answers
Homoplasy
according this figure (hagfish, perch, salamander, lizard...etc
Correct Answers Claws or nails are a synapomorphy of lizards,
birds, and mammals (mouse + chimp)
According to the above tree, which is an accurate statement of
relationship Correct Answers A green alga is more closely
related to a moss than to a red alga
According to this figure Correct Answers Taxa J, K, and their
extinct ancestor I are a monophyletic group.
(the picture of 6 taxa's)
According to this image Correct Answers (human, dog, bird,
whale)
Vertebrate forelimbs show homologous bone structure, despite
divergent functions.
, According to this tree, Correct Answers Hippopotamus and
whales are monophyletic.
Arrange the steps of constructing a phylogenetic tree using the
distance method in the correct order.
1. A distance matrix, is created
2. Trees are constructed by arranging segments or branches
derived from pair-wise comparison.
3. The distance between species is measured using character
state changes
4. Phylogenetic inference software is used to choose the best
tree. Correct Answers 3,1,2,4
At the molecular level, gene duplication often produces novelty
in a lineage. This process provides another evolutionary
pathway by which a protein can switch functions, without loss
of the original function. What analytical approach helped the
most to answer the question of evolution in the aldosterone.
Correct Answers Phylogenetic Study
At this point you have been introduced to different types of
studies in evolutionary biology . Refer to "Thermal Adaptation
and Antagonistic Pleiotropy in E.coli" and state what type study
this would be. Correct Answers Experimental
