Question

(Part A)

1).Which systematic method does NOT seek to reconstruct evolutionary relationships?

a.Evolutionary Systematics b.Phenetics c. Cladistics d.They all seek to reconstruct evolutionary relationships

2.) Phenetics and Cladistics are are similar in that they they both

a.Use matrices to test groupings in a clear and repeatable way b.Are seeking to reconstruct evolutionary relationshipd c. Are based on shared derived features d. Group forms based on overall similarity

Answer 1

ANSWER:

1) d.They all seek to reconstruct evolutionary relationships

A crucial thought in macroevolutionary studies is that of the biological process relationships (phylogeny) of the organisms in question. The course begins with associate degree introduction to the scope of macroevolutionary studies and illustrates ways of reconstructing biological process, from each morphological and molecular information.

It is necessary to understand the variations between the 3 ways of organic process analysis that square measuredelineate, namely

evolutionary scientific discipline
phenetics
cladistics

2) d. Group forms based on overall similarity

Phenetics and Cladistics are are similar in that they they both Group forms based on overall similarity
