What are the differences between a synapomorphy and a homologous trait?
A trait shared by at least two and perhaps more taxa and devolving on common ancestry is synapomorphy. A homologous trait is quite similar. The forelimbs of all tetrapods are devolved from common ancestry and would be traits shared by many taxa and homologous traits. Cladists use the word synapomorphy more to show closer relationships. Pliesiomorphy is the word cladists use to show more ancient relationships.
What would be a useful characteristic to use in cladistics?
A useful characteristic to use in cladistics is a derived trait, or synapomorphy, which is a feature that is present in an organism but absent in its ancestors. This characteristic helps to establish evolutionary relationships among different groups by highlighting shared traits that indicate common ancestry. For example, the presence of feathers in birds is a synapomorphy that distinguishes them from their reptilian ancestors. Utilizing such traits allows scientists to construct more accurate phylogenetic trees and understand evolutionary lineages.
Information about endothermic?
Animals that use metabolically generated heat to regulate body temperature independently of ambient temperature. Endothermy is a synapomorphy of the Mammalia, although it may have arisen in a (now extinct) synapsid ancestors. Generating internal heat to moderate body temperature, e.g., modern birds and mammals. Warmblooded.
In cladistic analysis a characteristic that arises as a lineage of organisms evolves over time is called a?
In cladistic analysis, a characteristic that arises as a lineage of organisms evolves over time is called a derived trait or synapomorphy. These traits help define clades within a phylogenetic tree by marking unique evolutionary advancements shared by a common ancestor and its descendants.
What is A Characteristic -usually a homologous structure- shared by all organisms in a group?
A characteristic typically shared by all organisms in a group is known as a synapomorphy, which is a derived trait that reflects a common ancestry. These homologous structures can include specific anatomical features, genetic sequences, or developmental patterns that have evolved over time. For example, the presence of vertebrae in all vertebrates is a synapomorphic trait that unites this diverse group of animals. Such shared characteristics help scientists classify and understand evolutionary relationships among different organisms.
Is a tail a shared derived characteristics?
A tail can be considered a shared derived characteristic (synapomorphy) in certain contexts, particularly when discussing specific groups of animals. For instance, all vertebrates have a tail at some stage of their development, which is a characteristic inherited from a common ancestor. However, in other contexts, such as when comparing mammals and reptiles, tails may not be considered derived since they are present in many ancestral lineages. Ultimately, whether a tail is classified as a shared derived characteristic depends on the specific evolutionary relationships being examined.
What is the family of the mesquite?
Mesquite is in the family Fabaceae, also known as the pea or bean family. At one point in the history of plant classification all family names were standerized to all end in "aceae." Before that, the Fabaceae was known as the Leguminosae. Because this is the third most abundant plant family in the world, is very wide spread, and is therefore imortant to people, Leguminosae was chosen to be an exception to the "aceae" rule. Although it was given its new "aceae" name, it is still considered correct to use the old name and you will see it used from time to time. Also, it is useful to use the name Leguminosae because it describes the most prominant identification feature and synapomorphy of the family, which is the leguminous fruit. All members of the Fabaceae are legumes. The word "legume" describes the type of fruit and is the name of plants that bear leguminous fruits. I'm sure you didn't need to know all of this, but the Fabaceae is my favorite plant family!
Which cats have retractable claws?
Felines. Retractable claws are found within the suborder Felidae however not all members show them. The Cheetah, for instance, is a prominent member who claws remain out at all times. Other more obscure members, like hyenas, do not have them either.
What is humanbeings and animals?
In some ways yes and in some ways no. So humans are animals.
