Here are the answers to your questions:

Question 1
Which two domains of life are most related?
Answer: b. Archaea & Eukarya
(The similarities in genetic and biochemical processes suggest a closer relationship between Archaea and Eukarya.)


Question 2
Which cladogram best organizes the organisms?
Without the visuals of the cladograms provided, I can't determine which one is correct. However, based on your description:

  • Organisms S and Y have similar DNA, suggesting they are closely related.
  • Organism F has different DNA but similar embryological development to S and Y, indicating it is more distantly related.

A proper cladogram would group S and Y together, with F branching off. If you can provide details of the options, I can help you better!


Question 3
What does letter A most likely represent?
Answer: a. a common ancestor
(Based on common ancestry and evolutionary relationships represented in cladograms.)


Question 4
Which table correctly matches the features to the letters labeled on the cladogram?
Answer: Without seeing the cladogram, I recommend considering common features:

  • Features should follow evolutionary traits: for arms/legs (four limbs) and other reproductive traits (amniotic eggs, eggs with shells).
  • Typically, traits that are newly evolved are closer to the tips of the cladogram.

If W is the trait of the earliest divergence (four limbs), then: D could be likely as typically, hair would be evolved later in mammals.


Question 5
Which of the following statements could be true according to the diagram?
Answer: a. Species N and O are more closely related than species O and M.
(This is a plausible statement often supported by cladograms unless indicated otherwise by the model.)

If you can provide more details about the cladograms or visuals, I can give more precise answers!
