Figure #1: Use the figure to answer questions #1-13. Agouti Mc1R khi Pigment Active Receptor Repressed Receptor Gulf Mainland Atlantic Mainland

Question 11 (2 points) 11. Continuing with question #10 above and according to the phylogeny, the presence of two populations with light pigmentation that developed from different developmental processes is an example of_ which is a type of Convergent evolution; Homoplasy Evolutionary reversal; Homoplasy Symplesiomorphic character retention; Homoplasy O Convergent evolution; Homology Evolutionary reversal; Homology

12. According to the phylogeny, which of the following statements is correct? The ancestral condition for oldfield mice is light pigmentation because the coastal populations are ancestral to the mainland populations The ancestral condition for oldfield mice is dark pigmentation because the coastal populations are derived from mainland populations The ancestral condition for oldfield mice is dark pigmentation because the mainland populations are derived from coastal populations The ancestral condition for oldfield mice is dark pigmentation because all populations, mainland and coastal, show dark pigmentation The ancestral condition for oldfield mice is light pigmentation because the mainland populations all show light pigmentation

Question 10 (2 points) 10. According to the phylogeny, the presence of light pigmentation in the Gulf and Atlantic coast populations represent characters because: Symplesiomorphic; They are shared ancestral characters Autopomorphic; They are derived independently between both populations Synapomorphic; They are derived independently between both populations Autopomorphic; They are derived from a most recent common ancestor of both populations Synapomorphic; They are derived from a most recent common ancestor of both populations
