Researchers discovered a new species complex of butterflies on an archipelago of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Each island has a unique species that has evolved to make use of the host plants available on a particular island. They conducted a phylogenetic analysis using a barcoding gene to reconstruct the origin and colonisation history of these butterflies. The phylogenetic tree is depicted below: Japan Island C Island D Island B Island A China
a. Regarding the phylogenetic tree: Met betrekking tot die filogenetiese boom: Select one: a. It is an unrooted tree, as it does not encapsulate an actual (extinct or extant) common ancestor for all of the terminal taxa Dit is 'n ongewortelde boom, omdat dit nie ʼn werklike (uitgestorwe of lewendige) gemene voorouer vervat vir al die terminale taksa nie b. It is a rooted tree, as it encapsulates a hypothetical common ancestor for all of the terminal taxa Dit is 'n gewortelde boom, omdat dit 'n hipotetiese gemene voorouer vervat vir al die terminale taksa c. It is a rooted tree, as it does not encapsulate a hypothetical common ancestor for all of the terminal taxa Dit is 'n gewortelde boom, omdat dit nie ʼn hipotetiese gemene voorouer vervat vir al die terminale taksa nie d. It is an unrooted tree, as it does not encapsulate a hypothetical common ancestor for all of the terminal taxa Dit is 'n ongewortelde boom, omdat dit nie ʼnn hipotetiese gemene voorouer vervat vir al die terminale taksa nie e. It is an unrooted tree, as it encapsulates an actual (extinct or extant) common ancestor for all of the terminal taxa Dit is 'n ongewortelde boom, omdat dit 'n werklike (uitgestorwe of lewendige) gemene voorouer vervat vir al die terminale taksa f. It is an unrooted tree, as it encapsulates a hypothe ommon ancestor for all of the terminal taxa Dit is 'n ongewortelde boom, omdat dit ʼn hipotetiese gemene voorouer vervat vir al die terminale taksa g. It is a rooted tree, as it does not encapsulate an actual (extinct or extant) common ancestor for all of the terminal taxa Dit is 'n gewortelde boom, omdat dit nie 'n werklike (uitgestorwe of lewendige) gemene voorouer vervat vir al die terminale taksa nie h. It is a rooted tree, as it encapsulates an actual (extinct or extant) common ancestor for all of the terminal taxa Dit is 'n gewortelde boom, omdat dit ʼn werklike (uitgestorwe of lewendige) gemene voorouer vervat vir al die terminale taksa
b. Regarding the internal node marked with a "red X" on the figure: Met betrekking tot die interne node gemerk met 'n "rooi X" op die figuur: a. The extant common ancestor for all of the island species. Die lewende gemene voorouer vir al die eiland spesies. b. The extinct common ancestor for species A, B and D. Die uitgestorwe gemene voorouer vir spesies A, B en D. O c. The hypothetical common ancestor for species A, B and D. Die hipotetiese gemene voorouer vir spesies A, B en D. d. The hypothetical common ancestor for all of the island species. Die hipotetiese gemene voorouer vir al die eiland spesies. e. The extinct common ancestor for all of the island species. Die uitgestorwe gemene voorouer vir al die eiland spesies. f. That the species on island C is the common ancestor to all island species. Dat die spesie op eiland C die gemene voorouer is vir al die eiland spesies. g. That the species on island D is the common ancestor to species A and B. Dat die spesie op eiland D die gemene voorouer is vir spesies A en B.
With reference to genetic relationships among species, which of the following statements are true? Met verwysing na genetiese verwantskappe tussen die spesies, watter stelling is waar? a. The species found in China and Japan share the highest degree of genetic similarity. Die spesies gevind in China en Japan is geneties mees soortgelyk. b. The species on islands C and Japan share the highest degree of genetic similarity. Die spesies op eilande C en Japan is geneties mees soortgelyk. c. The species on islands B and C share the highest degree of genetic similarity. Die spesies op eilande B en C is geneties mees soortgelyk. O d. The species on islands A and B share the highest degree of genetic similarity. Die spesies op eilande A en B is geneties mees soortgelyk.
