Which of the following statements about using molecular data for phylogenetic trees are correct?Check All That ApplyBecause all animals have similar genes their utility in determining animal relationships is quite limited.Because all animals have similar genes their utility in determining animal relationships is quite limited.Molecular data provides a greater degree of accuracy than morphological data when building phylogenetic trees. Molecular data provides a greater degree of accuracy than morphological data when building phylogenetic trees.When using molecular data to build animal phylogenetic trees, the data from multiple genes can be combined.When using molecular data to build animal phylogenetic trees, the data from multiple genes can be combined.Hundreds of genes and even genomes can be used to resolve phylogenies.

What is true regarding molecular and traditional analysis of phylogenies?Multiple choice question.Though there are differences between the two phylogenies, there is much agreement in the deep parts of the evolutionary tree.Most deep evolutionary relationships have been misunderstood until now.Molecular data is making morphological data obsolete; morphological analyses are being replaced.Molecular data are only useful to determine deep phylogenetic relationships.

What kind of data were first used to create phylogenetic trees?Multiple choice question.Similarities in morphologyHabitat dataSimilarities in DNA sequencesNatural selection data

Which of the following is true with respect to phylogenetic trees?Group of answer choicesthe mechanism driving speciation events is demonstratedeach node represents a common ancestor of 2 lineagesDNA sequences are the only data that can be used to construct a phylogentic treeall areas of the genome are equally useful for producing phylogentic trees

What has helped to resolve the relationships between most animal phyla?Multiple choice question.Using data from the analysis of single moleculesFocusing on morphological similaritiesCombining data from multiple genes

What is important to remember about animal phylogeny?Multiple choice question.Animal phylogeny, like any phylogeny, is a hypothesis.All of the parts of the phylogeny are firmly established.Morphological phylogeny is in opposition to molecular phylogeny.
