QUESTION 1

 True
 False
 Â
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
 Â
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
 Â
QUESTION 4
1. The phylogentic tree is most consistent with which of the following hypotheses:
Â
The same types of anole lizards evolved independently on each of the islands
Â
Each lizard type evolved once on one of the islands and then migraded to the other islands where it evolved into different species
Â
"Each lizard type evolved on the mainland and was brought to each of the islands, where it evolved into different species"
Â
All species of lizards appeared at exactly the same time on each of the islands.
 Â
QUESTION 5
