TUTORIAL 4: Q&A FOR TERM TEST I

How can stories evolve?

YOU ASKED:

Plesiomorphy, symplesiomorphy, apomorphy,

synapomorphy - which is used for taxonomic purposes?

WHAT ARE MONOPHYLETIC AND PARAPHYLETIC GROUPS?

WHAT IS MEANT BY COMMON ANCESTRY?

A. Common species are ancestors of rare species
B. All organisms are ancestors
C. Very dierent living species descend from the same ancestor
D. Simple living species are ancestral to more complex species
E. There is a ladder of life with primitive and more advanced
species arrayed on dierent rungs

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING FOSSIL DISCOVERIES WOULD PROVIDE THE MOST COMPELLING
EVIDENCE THAT PRIMATES AND RODENTS DESCENDED FROM A COMMON ANCESTOR?
A. In strata from 70 Ma (million years ago)you find a fossil almost
identical to living primates and another that is almost identical
to living rodents
B. A fossil from 40 Ma has general primate features but also has
unique traits that do not occur in living primates
C. Fossil primates are found in Northern Europe where no
primates currently occur but where rodent do currently occur
D. A series of fossils is found between 70 Ma and 80 Ma that have
triad shared by primates and rodents, with later ones tending to
have either specific rodent or specific primate traits
E. A fossil from 10Ma has quills identical to porcupines (a kind of
rodent) and a prehensile tail that is identical to New World
monkeys.

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING PAIRS WOULD YOU EXPECT TO HAVE

THE GREATEST DEGREE OF DIFFERENCE FROM EACH OTHER?
A. Living species A and
living species B
B. Living species B and
fossil c
C. Fossil e and fossil f
D. Living species A and

E. Fossil b and fossil d

WHICH OF THE FIVE LABELLED NODES IN THE TREE CORRESPONDS TO THE

MOST RECENT COMMON ANCESTOR OF A MUSHROOM AND A SPONGE?

WHICH OF THE FOUR TREES DEPICTS A DIFFERENT PATTERN

OF RELATIONSHIPS THAN THE OTHERS?

WHICH OF THE FOUR TREES DEPICTS A DIFFERENT PATTERN

OF RELATIONSHIPS THAN THE OTHERS?

THE CLADE WITH THE NAME DIKARYOMYCOTA COMPRISES ALL THE

DESCENDANTS OF THE LAST COMMON ANCESTOR OF MOREL AND PUFFBALL.
Which taxa on this tree are
not in dikaryomycota?
A. Bread mold
B. Corn smut
C. Yeast, bread mold
D. Yeast, portabella, corn
smut, bread mold
E. Yeast, corn smut,
puball
