1 answer

Here are the answers to your questions based on the information provided:

Question 1:
In the blank cladogram, what type of information would go on the lines labeled A?
Answer: a. derived characteristics

Question 2:
Among the living species, which two organisms are most closely related?
Answer: (You would need to refer to the provided illustration to see the relationship. However, based on typical cladogram interpretations, possibilities could include pairs that are close on the tree.)

Question 3:
Which of the following statements correctly explain the reason for the locations of a pair of organisms in this diagram? Select all that apply.
Answer:

  • a. Flagellates and cyanobacteria have similar DNA structures.
  • e. Thermoproteus and pyrodictium have similar DNA structures.
    (These answers imply they likely share a more recent common ancestor, which is often indicated by similar DNA structures.)

Question 4:
Which model best displays the information in the table, including the missing animals?
Answer: (You will need to view the models to determine which best captures this information based on the characteristics of the animals listed.)

Question 5:
Which two domains of life are most related?
Answer: a. Archaea & Eukarya
