Why is building a phylogeny based on symplesiomorphies considered a bad idea? In your answer, define a symplesiomorphy and also give an example using real organisms: describe several species and at least one symplesiomorphy that applies to them, and then describe what happens when you use that symplesiomorphy to try to understand phylogenetic relationships among the species.

To complete this exploration you will be utilizing the course companion Web site, MasteringBiology. Complete the Activity: Animal Phylogenetic Tree, including answering the tutorial questions to build your understanding.Examine the phylogenetic tree presented in the activity. Choose two animal phyla and discuss how closely or distantly related they are based on characteristics presented in the tree.

In a Northeastern U.S. forest, tiger salamanders were abundant.These salamanders need the humidity of the forest to survive andhave a short dispersal distance when they leave the forest (lessthan 50 feet). A mall was built in the region and the forest wasalmost completely clear cut. 10 small forest fragments were left(1-10). Fragments 8, 9, 10 were located close to each other (lessthan 30 feet apart) and were bigger in size. The other seven werelocated more than 200 feet apart from each other and were smaller.The original salamander population now is split in the ten smallforest fragments. a. In which forest fragment(s) willlikely genetic drift have a higher impact on the salamanderpopulation? Explain. b. Which fragment will likely have a lowergenetic variation within the salamander population? Explain. c.Which salamander populations will likely be genetically differentfrom each other? Which ones will likely be more similar?Explain.
