Sure! Here are the answers based on the information provided:
Question 1:
The model that best displays the information in the table, including the missing animals, would need to accurately depict the various physical characteristics of the animals.
Without seeing the models, I can't select an answer specifically, but look for a model that categorizes animals based on characteristics like having two digits on foot, hair, grasping hands, and tail.
Question 2:
You are asked which cladogram correctly organizes the information in the table depicting the characteristics of cats, kangaroos, sharks, and snakes.
The correct classification should reflect that cats and kangaroos possess fur, legs, lungs, and mouths, while sharks have jaws and a mouth, and snakes have lungs and a mouth but lack legs and fur. From this description, you would choose the cladogram that accurately sorts these animals according to these traits.
Question 3:
All the animals to the right of the salamander in the cladogram likely possess a common characteristic.
Based on typical biological classifications, the common characteristic would be: c. Lungs
Question 4:
The most recent common ancestor of the alligator and T. rex can typically be located in evolutionary trees as an ancestral point just before the branching that leads to both groups.
Without the diagram, I can't definitively state which point it is, but it is typically positioned at a point leading before the split that creates both lineages. If I had to guess without visual confirmation, I would suggest: b. Point B (if it conveys a shared lineage)
Question 5:
According to the diagram, to determine which two groups of organisms are most closely related, you generally look for the branches that are most closely intertwined in a phylogenetic tree.
The options suggest a potential connection, but likely, the correct answer is: d. Reptiles and Birds
Birds are classified within the clade of Reptiles, implying a close evolutionary relationship.
