The tree below and Evolution Exam 1, p.3 ern species. Figures A and B to the right are two possible classification schemes for the seven species. See questions to the left represents the true evolutionary branching patterns of a group of species. Numbers 1-7 represent left below. (14 pts total) 567 (Now) A: TiMe B: 1 2 3 4 5 6 thenl “MorphologY a. Compare the two classification schemes with the "true" evolutionary tree, and answer the following questions. Be clear which classification scheme (A or B) you're referring to in your answers. Note: there may be more than one correct answer! - which set of species that has been classified as 1 taxon is paraphyletic? - which set of species that has been classified as 1 taxon is monophyletic? - which set of species that has been classified as 1 taxon is polyphyletie? Scheme (A or B Scheme (Aor B) Scheme? or B): Species (list their #'s): (2pts) Species (list their #'s):-1-(2 pts) Species (list their #'s)- . (2 pts) or B)

Paraphyletic:

Scheme B: species 1 to 2 or 3 to 4.

Monophyletic:

Scheme A: species 1, 2 and 3 or 5, 6, 4 and 7.

Polyphyletic:

Scheme A: species 3 and 5

Scheme B: 2 and 3 or 4 and 5.
