Figure 20.6 At what levels are cats and dogs considered part of the same group?
To analyze:
Levels at which cats and dogs are considered part of the same group.
Introduction:
The various levels for classifications of organisms include domain, kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus and species.
Explanation of Solution
Dogs and cats belong to the same domain, kingdom, phylum, class, and order so they are in the same groups at five levels of classifications. Both cats and dogs are in Eukarya (domain), Animalia (kingdom), Chordata (phylum), Mammalia (class) and Carnivora (Order).
Cats and dogs are considered to be the part of the same groups at five levels that are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, and order.

- Rank the following pairs in order of the degree to which each species in the pair is related. The most closely related pair should be on top, and the least closely related pair should be on bottom. = Shrew Hare Tarsier Howler Capuchin Tamarin Baboon Colobus Orangutan Human Chimpanzeearrow_forwardWhat types of biological evidence would you need to look at to determine how closely related different penguin species are to one another?arrow_forward(a) Outgroup Cow Deer Hippo Pig Peccary Camel Whalearrow_forward

- Is the following statements consistent with the provided data? Answer TRUE if the statement is consistent with the data.Answer FALSE if the statement is not consistent with the data. 1. According to the phylogeny toads are monophyletic. 2. According to the phylogeny a group composed of the spring peeper and the chorus frog is monophyletic. 3. If climate change results in less snowpack during the winter months, then wood frog survival will increase.arrow_forwardCreate a dichotomous key between housefly, hard tick, and sheep ked using morphological characteristics.

- n which situation would it make sense to use the morphological species concept? When you are able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are unable to determine if they interbreed When working with fossils from extinct organisms When you only have genetic data about each organism in your study When you are not able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are able to collect reproductive dataarrow_forwardIn a phylogenetic analysis of several bird species, a researcher uses a species of reptile as an outgroup. Which of the following is the main reason for including an outgroup in the analysis? To identify ancestral traits shared by the bird species To determine the overall genetic diversity of the bird species To establish a new monophyletic group including both bird and reptile species To analyze the convergent evolution of bird and reptile speciesarrow_forwardRepresent through a cladogram the evolutionary relationships among spiders, birds, porifera, Homo sapiens, lampreys, nematodes, tuna, clam and jellyfish by listing them in order from most closely related to most distantly related.
