consider five species of toads. species a and b are sister species. species c and d are also sister species. the clade containing species a and b is sister to the clade containing species c and d. species e is sister to the clade containing a, b, c, and d. which species is most likely to share synapomorphies with species e?

Respuesta :

Species  C is most likely to share synapomorphies with species E .

A unique character or character state that has developed from its ancestral form is referred to as an apomorphy in phylogenetics. An apomorphy that is shared by two or more taxa is referred to as a synapomorphy and is thought to have originated in those taxa's most recent common ancestor. Synapomorphy suggests homology in cladistics.

For instance, humans, chimpanzees, monkeys, lemurs, and other lineages of primate have opposable thumbs as a synapomorphy.
