34. In the cladogram above, all animals to the right of the insects have what characteristic? ____________
Evolution & Taxonomy Objectices
7A-Analyze & evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record,
biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental (isolation)
7B-Analyze & evaluate scientific explanations concerning any data of sudden appearance, stasis, and
sequential nature of groups in the fossil record
7C- Analyze & evaluate how natural selection produces changes in a population, not individuals
7D-Analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection, including inherited variation, the potential
of a population to produce more offspring than can survive, and a finite supply of environmental resources,
result in reproductive success
7E- Analyze & evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation and to the development of
diversity in & among species (speciation)
7F- Analyze & evaluate that effects of other evolutionary mechanisms, including genetic drift, gene flow,
mutation, and recombination
8A- Define taxonomy and recognize the importance of a standardized taxonomic system to the scientific
community
8B- Categorize organisms using a hierarchical classification system based on similarities & differences
shared among groups (dichotomous keys)
8C- Compare characteristics of taxonomic groups, including archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, &
animals
