Question

VISUAL SKILLS The relative lengths of the frog and mouse branches in the phylogenetic tree in Figure 26.13 indicate that 
a. frogs evolved before mice. 
b. mice evolved before frogs.
c. the homolog has evolved more rapidly in mice.
d. the homolog has evolved more slowly in mice.

Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone here we have a question that says, assuming that in a pillow genetic tree of dogs, the red wolf has a longer branch length in the coyote, which of the following statements can be true. A evolution of the red wolf took more time. Be evolution of the coyote took more time. See the evolution of the red wolf is incomplete or d the evolution of the red wolf is quicker than the coyote, so the length of branch on the philo genetic tree is tells us the time it takes, so the evolution of the bread wolf is going to take more time because it has a longer branch length than the coyote. So our answer is a evolution of the red wolf took more time. Thank you for watching. Bye.
