What is a phylogenetic tree and how and why does the phylogeny-based identification of microorganisms work (in other words which are the principles of evolution that phylogeny based identification is based on?) Draw a hypothetical phylogenetic tree of seven organisms four of which showing no evolutionary divergence to each other and the other three being more divergent compared to the previous four organisms. Should the former four organisms be assigned to the same species or not based on your tree?

What problems does horizontal gene transfer cause for evolutionary biologists?

It can make reconstruction of phylogenetic trees difficult because it can obscure phylogenetic relationships.
It can cause physiological problems in some organisms, making it hard to study them.
It can make breeding between different individuals of the same species difficult.
Because it is transfer of genes between the same species, it can make individuals look more similar than they actually are.

All of the above

Which statement best describes the maximum parsimony approach to the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees?

A pathway is constructed that requires the minimum number of changes to arrive at the modern species from a common ancestor.
The tree is based on relationships that show the maximum probability of obtaining a set of characteristics.
Relationships on the tree are based on overall similarity between species.
Branches on the tree are constructed from the predicted date of speciation, measured in millions of years.
The best phylogeny is selected by comparing models representing random mutation and adaptive radiation.

An adaptation or adaptive trait is a trait/characteristic that has evolved in a population of organisms which provides a functional advantage. Adaptations increase the biological fitness of a population. Fitness is defined as the ability to survive and pass genes on to subsequent generations. For the purposes of this assignment, you are to choose an adaptive trait common to more than one species. For example, birds and bats both have wings. Write a 2-3 page (500 – 750 words, 12 point font) paper including the following elements. Be sure to compose your work with your own words. Do not copy and paste from any source. Describe what makes this trait an adaptation. Briefly describe how the trait evolved; e.g., mutation, genetic drift, migration and/or natural selection. Be sure to support your answer with evidence. What is the difference between homologous and analogous traits? How does your trait of choice fit either of these descriptions? What is convergent and divergent evolution? Describe whether the trait is a result of convergent or divergent evolution. Use in-text citation and provide source references for at least 3 sources. The textbook can be one source. When citing articles or other types of documents, follow standard guidelines as introduced on "Citing references in scientific research papers".
