. List and describe 3 synapomorphies for the clade Eukaryota 2. Define clade, homology, synapomorphy, and analogy in your own words. 3. Explain the role of symbiotic associations in the evolution of major eukaryotic organelles. What evidence supports this role? 4. Name and describe an example of a single-celled protozoan from each of the following Eukaryote lineages: Unikonts, Rhizaria, Aveolates, and Excavates (hint â we looked at each of these in lab). 5. Define the term parsimony and explain how it is used in determining evolutionary relationships among organisms. 6. Describe the cytoskeleton of Eukaryotes. What types of proteins does it consist of? What is it used for? 7. Examine Table 1.1 in your textbook. There are just 6 Phyla (not Subphyla) of animals that contain 1% or more of the wroldâs animal species. Which ones are they?
