Consider these phylogenetic trees. The first tree is based on physical characteristics. The second tree is based on structure, genetics, and evolutionary history. 2 phylogenetic trees are shown. The first tree has 3 branches that go to duck, platypus, and opossum. The second tree has 2 branches that go to duck and platypus. Opossum branches off of the platypus branch.

Which can be concluded from a comparison of the two phylogenetic trees?

Describe the iron sulfide hypothesis and the lipid membrane hypothesis.

Select the situation bellow that would produce a total displacement of zero. a. a trip to the moon and then to mars b. a horse galloping from one end of a field to another c. the criss-crossing path of a bug as it flies from flower to flower d.a round-trip ride to school and back

How is ribosomal rna useful as a molecular clock? a. a large portion of the dna ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations. b. its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other. c. a slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species. d. it is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.
