Imagine a scientist finds the fossils of an extinct Ichthyosaur and finds this morphological similarity of Ichthyosaurs and modern dolphins: bones indicating flippers and a tail for swimming. The scientist guesses that Ichthyosaurs may form a monophyletic group with the dolphins, based on this morphological similarity. What is one method or line of reasoning that scientists could not use when testing the hypothesis that dolphins and Ichthyosaurs form a monophyletic group?
A. Take blood samples and use DNA evidence to determine a more complete phylogenetic tree, because biologists have not successfully obtained DNA from Ichthyosaurs.
B. Collect more data about the presence and absence of many more characters of both dolphins and ichthyosaur bones.
C. Make sure that the flippers and tail in both Ichthyosaurs and dolphins are due to homology, rather than analogy.
D. See if the living sister group to dolphins is more closely related to dolphins than is the Ichthyosaur.
E. Use the principle of parsimony to decide which of several trees is most parsimonious.

Cultures of the lake of the ozarks water samples were grown on enrichment media for identification. however, these organisms are present to some degree in all samples. an important question from a clinical perspective is whether or not there is a significant increase in the fecal coliform populations that would put people's health at risk. if you were part of the team investigating this outbreak, how would you best enumerate the fecal coliform threat? view available hint(s) cultures of the lake of the ozarks water samples were grown on enrichment media for identification. however, these organisms are present to some degree in all samples. an important question from a clinical perspective is whether or not there is a significant increase in the fecal coliform populations that would put people's health at risk. if you were part of the team investigating this outbreak, how would you best enumerate the fecal coliform threat? direct microscopic counts filtration count culture serial dilution count culture plate count culture

Whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
