Match the concept on the left to an example or definition on the right. A. A shared derived character B. A shared ancestral character C. A group containing all the descendants of a common ancestor D. The similar body shape of a shark and a whale E. A group missing one or more of the descendants of a common ancestor F. The same bones in similar positions in the forelimbs of all vertebrates

Solution

1.) convergence- D.) Thee similar body shape of a shark and whale

explaination:in these unrelate or distantly related organism develope similar body form

2.) homology- B. a shared ancestral character

explaination: these is the similarity in the structure due to relatedness or common ancestory for eg forelimb of man, bat , deer are same thus proving of mammalianancestory

3.)Monophyletic- C)A group containing all the descendants from a common ancestor

explaination: who have been derived from one common ancestor for eg: cousins of a family are the descendant of grandfather

4.)Paraphyletic: E.) a group missing one or more descendants of a coomon ancestor

explaination: dicots and monocts, class reptilia as it exclude birds

5.)Synamorphy- A. A shared derived character

explaination:these are the characters possesed by two or more organism inherited from their common ancestry for eg mammary gland in mammals

6.)Symplesiomorphy- F.) the same bones in similar position in the forelimb of vertebrate

explaination: shared primitive trait
