Question 1 of 20
1. Question
What is meant by convergent evolution?
- Where two unrelated species have similar features from evolving adaptations suited to the same environment.
- Where one species breeds with another and produces an offspring that is fertile
- Where two species with the same common ancestor are found in the same environment
- Where two unrelated species have the same niches but in different ecosystems
Correct
Incorrect
Question 2 of 20
2. Question
Which of these are used as evidence in classification?

Correct
Incorrect
Question 3 of 20
3. Question
Why is the respiration enzyme cytochrome used in classification?
- All respiring organisms have it but it differs amongst species
- All organism excretes it after the ornithine cycles has taken place
- All eukaryotic organism code for it but it differs amongst species
- Not all species produce it
Correct
Incorrect
Question 4 of 20
4. Question
What might it indicate if the cytochrome C primary sequences of two species are similar?

Question 12 of 20
12. Question
What is phylogeny?
- The study of the evolutionary relationships between organisms
- The study of observable features amongst organisms

Correct
Incorrect
Question 14 of 20
14. Question

- Is stable
Correct
Incorrect
Question 15 of 20
15. Question
Which of these does not describe phylogenetic classification?

Correct
Incorrect
Question 16 of 20
16. Question
What is a common ancestor?
- An ancestor that is shared by two or more different groups of organisms
- An ancestor that had many species

- An ancestor that is shared by two families
Correct
Incorrect
Question 17 of 20
17. Question
What does monophyletic mean?
- All members of a group arose from one common ancestor

Correct
Incorrect
Question 18 of 20
18. Question
What is the difference between classification and phylogeny?
- Classification puts things into groups whereas phylogeny looks at evolutionary relationships
