Question
1. Phylogenetic tree represent that
I. Many species of anole lizard exist.
II. The different species of anole evolved in the same way in different island.
III. Once a lizard colonized in new island, it evolved in to another similar species.
2. Yes, the lizards that share common adaptation, to different adaptation are closely related because they have thought to arise from a common ancestor. Same type of anoles evolved independently on different island.
3. No, the lizards that are living on the same island diversify into different types. On the other hand, lizards were evolved independently on different island.

Question 10: Anolis lizards are a genus of closely-related lizards that have evolved into many different morphs on various Caribbean islands and surrounding mainlands. Harvard scientist Jonathan Losos has classified these morphs into 6 types that specialize on and appear to be adapted to different microhabitats organized along vertical space. For example, "twig" (specializing on twigs) lizards have short legs with a slender body, whereas "trunk-ground" lizards have long hind legs with stockier bodies. Interestingly, similar patterns of morph diversification...
