Define the term phylogeny. Distinguish between monophyletic, paraphyletic, and polyphyletic taxa. Explain spatial, temporal, biological, phylogenetic, taxonomic, and ecological scales and how they relate to each other in the context of evolutionary biology. ...
Define the term species with respect to classification. What are two different reproductive strategies for species? What are the taxonomic categories used to describe organisms? What is a taxonomy of an organism? What is phylogeny? Which level of taxonomy encompasses all of the others? A) f...
Classification is transforming from just Linnaean classification (grouping according to physical similarities) to phylogeny. Define this term, and explain how this new type of classification may be more useful. Explain how an outgroup is used to build a phylogenetic tree. In other wor...
As a consequence, we could not establish a clear phylogeny for them. Thus, we used a very stringent identification of ORF loss. Specifically, if an ORF is present in the outgroup line (Zambian) and at least one European line, we assume that it was lost in the rest of the European ...
Castleden was equal to in 2004 rested on the strict standard to carry on the phylogeny analysis to all known SPS sequence, has limited the plant SPS gene classification, and divided into it A, B, C, the D 4 families.[translate]
Sequence and structure alignments, phylogeny Close relatives ofpplAanddatZwere identified by BLAST searches, and aligned with Clustal Omega65(PrimPol) or the default MUSCLE algorithm in MEGA X software66(DatZ); sequence logos were made with WebLogo67. Structures homologous to PrimPol and DatZ avail...
Specific, contingent and path- dependent relationships among resource distribution, geography and phylogeny are required. Yet when it comes to the 'soft-mouth-part-hypothesis' one can just turn the crank: as ungulate herbivores increase in size, their comparative bite size decreases, as does the ...

The ultimate goal is to define the ancestral state as well as character evolution that occurred for the past half billion years and resulted in drastically different structures, such as flowering plant seeds and moss spore capsules. Yet, despite all differences, some key features of the molecular...
