Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which model best shows these relationships: A branches first, B branches next, and C and D are closest relatives?
AA and B are sister taxa, then C, then D
BA branches first, then B, then C and D share the most recent branch point
CD branches first, then A and B share a recent node, and C is last
DA, B, C, and D all connect to one center point with no branching order
Solution & Explanation:The model must show A splitting first, B splitting next, and C and D sharing the most recent common ancestor.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Use the labeled plant cladogram. Which trait is shared by all descendants of node K?
