Question
Chapter 32.1, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The common developmental stages, which are found in all deuterostomes. Also, the reason for the invalidation of some of these traits as a strong evidence for the monophyly of deuterostomes.
Introduction:
Deuterostomes are the class of organisms, which include sea animals like echinoderms and hemichordates, as well as land animals like chordates, including man himself. All these groups of animals do not share morphological characters. Yet, they are similar on the basis of developmental traits, which classify them under deuterostomes.

- Define "synapomorphy" and "symplesiomorphy". Which nine phyla were placed in the old "Phylum" Aschelminthes? What characters did these share? Were these synapomorphies or sympleisomorphies?

What synapomorphy(ies) do they share?arrow_forwardOnly eight species of lobe-finned fishes are alive today, remnants of a group that flourished in the Devonian period of the Paleozoic era. What morphological characteristics distinguish lobe-finned fishes? What is the literal meaning of Sarcopterygii, the taxon comprising lobe-finned fishes and tetrapods?arrow_forwardRotifers and acanthocephalans previously belonged to separate phylum. But recent molecular studies and genome analysis show that acanthocephalans are sister groups of a class under Phylum Rotifera. And thus, the two should belong to a single taxon. Aside from the molecular evidences, what morphological and physiological features of both the rotifers and acanthocephalans support this claim? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
