Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2.The grade-based and molecular-based phylogenetic trees agree in which of the following ways? a)the acoelomate condition as a branch point before the divergence of the two protostome clades b)the placement of the three lophophorate phyla into the protostomes c)parazoa as the probable ancestor of the animal kingdom d)the deepest branch points of the parazoa–eumetazoa and radiata–bilateria dichotomies, and the deuterostomes as a monophyletic clade e)the origin of the Hox complex as the probable cause of the Cambrian explosion

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 3.The larvae of some insects are merely small versions of the adult, whereas the larvae of certain other insects look radically different from adults, eat different foods, and may even live in different environments. What condition should most directly favor the evolution of the more radical kind of metamorphosis? a)limited resources b)increasing oxygen content of the biosphere c)the evolution of meiosis d)volcanoes in the environment e)the felt need to introduce variety into the species

5. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 4.What should animals as diverse as corals and monkeys have in common? a)body cavity between body wall and digestive system b)number of embryonic tissue layers c)type of body symmetry d)presence of Hox genes e)degree of cephalization

6. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5.Cephalization is primarily a)a result of adaptation to dark environments. b)an adaptation to the method of reproduction. c)due to the fate of the blastopore. d)the result of the type of digestive system. e)an adaptation to movement.

7. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 6.Phylogenetic trees are best described as a)true and inerrant statements about evolutionary relationships. b)hypothetical portrayals of evolutionary relationships. c)the most accurate possible representations of genetic relationships among taxa. d)theories of evolution. e)the closest things to absolute certainty that modern systematists can produce.
