All embryos exactly look the same during the very early stages of
development. A: True
This hypothesis suggests that the first molecules of life might have met on clay,
whose surfaces not only concentrated these organic compounds together, but also
helped organize them into patterns.
A: The Clay Hypothesis
During vertebrate development, all embryos exactly look the same during the very
early stages of development.
A: Embryology
Algae, Fungi, and Plants - International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and
plants (ICZN).
A: False
A primitive characters known as plesiomorphy; a shared primitive character between two or
more taxa is symplesiomorphy: a derived character is apomorphy a shared derived
character between two or more taxa is known as a synapomorphy.
A: True
He argued that the concept of "spontaneous generation" might had happened due to a
"primeval soup" of different organic molecules that could be created in a non-oxygen
atmosphere due to the action of sunlight.
A: Alexander Oparin
A rooted tree is used when each of the node represents the most recent common
ancestor of the taxa branching from it.
A: True
He wanted to find out whether a sterile nutrient broth could spontaneously generate
microbial life.
A: Louis Pasteur
The DNA that was isolated is then amplified using the polymerase chain reaction. This
technology is actually about the principle that you can exponentially multiply a single copy
of your DNA.
A: Amplification of the DNA
In the cladistic system, organisms are classified exclusively on the basis of how recent
are the descendants from their common ancestor.
A: True
It is a method that groups organisms based on their shared derived
characters. A: Cladistics system
Input from new technologies provides new information in the similarities and differences
among taxa that leads to revision, lumping, or splitting a taxon.
A: New data
One of the major rules in nomenclature, as guided by ICBN and ICZN, are names should
be written in Latin.
A: False
The discovery of tiny filamental structures that are similar to bacteria called nanobes in
deep rocks in the early 90s supported such claim.
A: Thomas Gold
The goal of modern systematists is to construct a monophyletic taxon, which would reflect
true evolutionary relationships by including all descendants of a single common ancestor.
A: True
