Solutions

Expert Solution

A phylogenetic tree for mammalian evolution:

1. Diarthrognathus ("Two joint jaw") is an extinct genus of synapsids,

2. Triconodonts - Any extinct mammal of the order Triconodonta, (A tooth having three conical cusps),

3. Docodonts- Any of several extinct mammals of the order Docodonta,

4. Multituberculates- Any of a small group of rodent-like mammals, of the order Multituberculata,

5. Symmetrodonts- Symmetrodonta is a group of Mesozoic mammals and mammal-like synapsids,

6. Pantotheres- Pantotheria is an abandoned taxon of Mesozoic mammals,

7. Monotremes- Living mammals groups, one of them, along with placentals (Eutheria) and marsupials (Metatheria),

8. Marsupials- Pouched mammals,

9. Placentals- Any animal that is a member of the Placentalia.

Draw the phylogenetic tree that shows that understanding of the evolutionary relationships of all invertebrates among the major phyla of metazoans. What are the major clades shown on the tree?
