The construction of phylogenetic trees is a mapping out the proposed divisions and common ancestors of all living species. Traditionally, these trees have been built using morphological data, such as appearance and embryology. Recently, it has been possible to construct these trees using molecular data. Phylogenetic trees based on different types of information agree with each: that there is strong evidence of a real underlying common descent.

This phylogenic tree is composed based on molecular data (rRNA). What statements can we infer are true about the organisms throughout the tree?

1. Because the tree is rooted, all branches share a common ancestor.
2. All organisms have some sort of cellular structure/organization.
3. All Eukaryotes evolved from Bacteria.
4. Since the organisms contain RNA, they share the same DNA.
5. If the organisms contain RNA, the share the same four nitrogen bases.

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e.g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.

An ecologist studied the same species of deer during the summer and the winter. she noticed that during the summer, when there was plenty of food, the deer were energetic and playful. however, during winter when food was scarce, the deer moved more slowly and did not run unless they needed to escape a predator. which scientific fact is best supported by her observations?
