Question 1. What two things do nodes represent on phylogenies? Nodes represent the most recent common ancestor of two or more descendant lineages and represent a speciation event. Question 2. Compare the branching patterns of phylogenies 1-3 above. Which statement below correctly describes the patterns among trees 1-3? Tree 1 = Tree 2 Question 3. Which node represents the MRCA for taxa F and G? 3 Question 4. Which taxon or taxa is/are the sister group to E + F? D, G, H Question 5. If y...

Pre-lab 5: Introduction to Plant Diversity II Question 1. In contrast to Bryophytes, Lycophytes, and Monilophytes what specific advantage does pollen provide to seed plants in terms of their reproductive biology? Pollen is advantageous because it does not need water for the male cell to reach the female cell. Instead, pollinators transfer the different cells. Question 2. In contrast to Bryophytes, Lycophytes, and Monilophytes what specific advantage do seeds provide to seed plants in terms...

Pre-lab 6: Botanical Conservatory and Fungal Diversity (Score: 4.75/5) Question 1. Identify two reasons why maintaining a large, living plant collection is an important public and scientific resource. It lets us study different types of plants without having to travel all over the world and it teaches us better methods of conservation. Question 2. In figure 6.2 above, which season (X or Y) would correspond to winter at point A? Season X Question 3. On which side (left or right) of figure...

Pre-Lab 7: Introduction to Metazoa (Score: Question 1. Study the phylogeny of animals in figure 7.3. Where are humans on this phylogeny? What are the defining features of the phylum to which humans belong? Humans are on the chordata. The defining features are notochord, dorsal hollow nerve chord, and post-anal tail. Question 2. Study the phylogeny of animals in figure 7.3. What feature of the phylogeny supports the fact that deep relationships among animals remain unresolved? Polytomy:sho...
