Recent molecular phylogenetic work has lead to revisions of annelid taxonomy. Which of the following is not a true statement based on molecular analysis? Multiple Choice Clitellata is a monophyletic group composed of earthworms, leeches, and a few smaller taxa. Phylum Annelida is divided into two classes: Polychaeta and Clitellata. Errantia and Sedentaria represent the two major annelid clades The name "Oligochaeta" (formerly used to denote a subclass) should no longer be used as a taxonomic designation
Which of the following provides the strongest support that a proposed phylogenetic tree is an accurate reflection of the real genealogical relationships among a set of species? a. Phylogenetic methods applied to multiple, independent sources of evidence (e.g. comparisons of independently evolving genes, or comparisons between DNA-based analysis vs. morphological analysis) provide support for the same evolutionary tree b. The phylogeny was based on the Maximum Parsimony method applied to DNA sequence data for lineages with high rates of evolution...

A hypothetical phylogenetic tree is shown in Figure Q4-2. Use
this tree to answer the following question.
1. How many years ago did species M and N diverge from their
last common ancestor? Are M and N more or less closely related to
each other than P and S? In looking for functionally important
nucleotide sequences, is it more informative to compare the genome
sequences of M and N or those of M and Q? Explain.
last common ancestor million...

Phylum Echinodermata Discussion: 1. What is the favorite food of sea stars? 2. Which stomach can a sea star evert? What challenge(s) does this mechanism most likely help the sea start to cope with? 3. How do echinoderms cope with the other many challenges of multicellularity? 4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having an endoskeleton? 5. Why are adult sea stars radially symmetric whereas larvae are bilaterally symmetric? 6. Echinoderms are deuterostomes and represent a different branch of...
