    Jonathan Zhou
    This document contains a phylogenetic tree analyzing the evolutionary relationships between various plant and animal groups, including dinosaurs, birds, mammals, and trilobites. It asks multiple choice and short answer questions about the tree focusing on identifying closely related groups, shared traits, divergence times, and extinct species.

    Analyzing Phylogenetic Trees

    1. True or False: Pterosaurs are


    dinosaurs. False
    2. True or False: Birds are
    dinosaurs. True
    3. Who is the most closely related
    group to Hadrosaurs?
    Ceratopsians
    4. What are some traits that birds
    and dromaeosaurids (e.g.
    velociraptors) share?
    Lizard-hipped, long neck s-
    shaped neck and long hands
    5. Would the tree change if the the
    position of Stegosaurs and

    m
    er as
    Ankylosaurs were switched?
    Why or why not?

    6. Would the tree change if the positions of Stegosaurs and Pachycephalosaurs were switched? Why or why not?

    7. To which group are the


    modern elephants more closely
    related (share a more recent
    ed d

    common ancestor): the


    ar stu

    mastodon or the mammoth?


    Mammoth

    8. Estimate when the most recent


    is

    common ancestor of the two


    modern elephants lived (or,
    Th

    estimate when the two modern


    elephants diverged).
    Three million years ago

    9. According to this tree, to


    whom is the Asian elephant
    more closely related: the
    African elephant or mammoth?
    African elephant

    10. Propose an explanation for why groups like Anancus, the mammoth, and the mastodon might have gone extinct.
    They might have gone extinct because of natural selection (the survival of the fittest) and mutations.
