Answer 1

Here are the answers to the questions based on the descriptions provided:

Question 1: Which characteristic is shared by humans, wallabies, and trout?

• Response: notochord
  (All three belong to the phylum Chordata, which is characterized by having a notochord at some stage of their development.)

Question 2: Which animals have the closest evolutionary relationship, as shown by the cladogram?

• Response: humans and wallabies
  (Humans and wallabies are both mammals, indicating a closer evolutionary relationship compared to the other pairs listed.)

Question 3: A valid conclusion from this cladogram is that

• Response: humans and lampreys share a common ancestor.
  (Cladograms show evolutionary relationships; if humans and lampreys are on the same branch, it indicates they share a common ancestor.)

Please ensure you have the correct information or context to verify these answers based on the specific cladogram you are referencing.
