Differences-
Apomorphy- characteristic which is unique to a clade and is found in all descendants of that particular clade ...
It is simliar throughout the clade .
It is derived or specialised character .
defining character of clade .
Plesiomorphy - evolutionary character homologous within a particular clade but, not unique to all members of that particular clade. And not similar throughout .
It is primitve or ancestral character and is not defining...
Paddle foot derived from shoulder leg...
Scissor tail derived from fan tail...
Long segment derived from short segments

ul Bio220 - Diversity of Life HW 2: Phylogenetics First Some Review and Examples... There are several definitions that you will need to be familiar with in order to properly use and understand phylogenetic systematics. - Character: A heritable attribute of an organism. - Plesiomorphy: A primitive or ancestral character. This is a character that was inherited from a...
Exercise: Many older classifications are not monophyletic, and do not reflect the evolutionary relationships among species. As an introduction to phylogenetic classification, think about the tetrapods (animals with four legs). These animals have traditionally been classified into four groups, all of the same rank: Class Amphibia (frogs, salamanders, newts, etc.) Class Reptilia (snakes, lizards, crocodiles, turtles, etc.) Class Aves (birds) Class Mammalia (mammals) Reptiles possess a common ancestor with certain extinct amphibians, the birds are derived from a group of...
Exercise: Phylogenetics Terms and Definitions Instruction: Match the terms to their descriptions. Connect each term on the left-hand side to their corresponding description on the right-hand side. Parsimony Refers to a taxon, or a branch of a phylogenetic tree or gene tree, that includes all the species (or genes) that descended from a common ancestor. Cf. paraphyletic, polyphyletic Molecular clock A diagram representing the evolutionary relationships among named groups of organisms, i.e., their history of descent from common ancestors. Outgroup...

11. For this question, refer to FIG. 24.2 (p. 487) "The family tree of the lesser and great apes."This figure shows the derivation of "earlobes". Assume that evolution has not reversed this character state in any of the descendants of this ancestor which evolved earlobes. Given this, what do we know about earlobes?

Biological fitness is best defined as A) a heritable trait that increases the match of an individual to its environment. B) similar reproductive success among individuals in a population. C) variability in the population for a trait that increases survival. D) the ability of an individual to produce offspring that survive and reproduce, relative to other individuals in the population. E) competition among individuals for resources that allow them to have more offspring Phylogenetic trees constructed...
