QUESTION 1
1. "According to the phylogenetic tree in this virtual lab, all anole lizards (genus Anolis) are more closely related to one another than they are to Leiocephalus carinatus"
True
False
QUESTION 2
1. "Based on this phylogeny, lizards of the same body type tend to be more closely related to one another than to lizards of different body types? "
True
False
QUESTION 3
1. "In general, lizards on the same island are more closely related to one another than to similar-looking lizards from other islands? "
True
False
QUESTION 4
1. The phylogentic tree is most consistent with which of the following hypotheses:
The same types of anole lizards evolved independently on each of the islands
Each lizard type evolved once on one of the islands and then migraded to the other islands where it evolved into different species
"Each lizard type evolved on the mainland and was brought to each of the islands, where it evolved into different species"
All species of lizards appeared at exactly the same time on each of the islands.
QUESTION 5
1. Which of the following statements is supported by the evidence from the tree?
The anole species on Puerto Rico and Hispaniola evolved from a common ancestor.
All the anole species in this tree do not share a common ancestor.
Anolis coelestinus is more closely related to Leiocephalus carinatus than to any other anole species
Anolis coelestinus is the oldest anole species
QUESTION 6
1. Which of the following statements is supported by the evidence from the tree?
similar adaptations evolved on different islands
new species evolve every few thousand years
similar species evolved in very different habitats
the number of body plans for lizard species is unlimited.
QUESTION 7
1. "According to Dr. Losos, the independent evolution of similar species on the different islands is an example of which of the following processes? "
convergent evolution
reproductive isolation
sexual selection
disurptive equilibrium
