Question

1. Use the animal phylogenetic tree below to answer the next 4 question. Choanoflagellates ANIMALIA Porifera sponges) Radial symmetry Ctenophora (comb jellies) Radial symmetry aria (jellyfish, corals LOPHOTROCHOZOA -Rotifera Diploblasty (rotifers) Loss of coelom Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Segmentation Annelida segmented worms) Mollusca (snails, clams, squid) ECDYSOZOA -Nematoda Arthropoda Bilateral symmetry Triploblasty Cephalization Coelom? Segmentation (insects, spiders, DEUTEROSTOMES Radial symmetry Echinodermata in adults)(sea stars, sand dollars) -Chordata tes) A nematode is a [k], a human is a [vl, while a sponge is a [z] b. protostome c. none of these d. diploblast e. unicellular organism 2. The taxa Annelida, Chordata, and Arthropoda, which are are segmented, are an example of a group.

Explanation / Answer

1. A nematode is a protostome, a human is a deuterostome, a sponge is a none of these

2. answer- c) polyphyletic. - Polyphyletic are group of organism having similar trait but inherrited from different ancestors.

3 answer is b)- homoplasy- a character shared by a set of species develop from different ancestor.

4 answer e) B and C - both the bacteria and archea are prokaryotes and have a circular DNA and do not have a proper nucleus.
