|
2)
The
correct sequence, from the most to the least comprehensive, of the taxonomic
levels listed here is

|
2)
The
best classification system is that which most closely
|
Reflects
evolutionary history
|
|
Generally,
within the lineage, the largest number of shared derived characters should be
found among two organisms that are members of the same
|
family
|
|
6)
Theoretically,
molecular clocks are to molecular phylogenies as radiometric dating is to
phylogenies that are based on the
|
fossil records
|
|
6)

theory proposes that____

generate 02 OR 2- Prokaryotes (single-celles organisms) often
referred
to as blue green algae.
