IMPORTANT NOTES: You are required to complete at least two EOC assignments. If you score an 80% or higher, you will receive +10 pts on those first two EOC assignments. (Note: If you complete additional EOC assignments, then you can earn +5pts for each one if you score 80% or higher).
DO NOT SUBMIT IF YOU ARE UNSURE OR HAVE QUESTIONS. Please use your notes and ask questions as needed.

Scientists are studying the evolutionary history of a group of plants in the United States, and they developed a phylogenetic tree (cladogram), as shown above. Which statement can be inferred from the phylogenetic tree?
The Venn diagram above compares the two kingdoms of prokaryotic single-celled life. Which of the following scientific explanations supports the division of these organisms into these two kingdoms?
The table above classifies three different organisms. Which level of classification is represented by the box labeled 'A'?
Evidence exists that during the millions of years in which the Grand Canyon formed, the canyon divided a single population of tufted-eared squirrels into two populations. One of these squirrel populations, the Kaibab squirrel, now lives in isolation from the other tufted-ear squirrels on the North Rim of the canyon. The other population, the Abert’s squirrel, lives on the South Rim. Some biologists think that the two populations of squirrels have evolved into two separate species. Other biologists think that the Kaibab squirrel is a subspecies of the Abert’s squirrel.
The cladogram above shows the evolution of the original tufted-ear squirrel population into two separate species. Which of the following factors would make the evolution of the squirrel population into separate species less likely?
Portions of the protein sequence alignments for a group of ciliates are shown.
Which of the following cladograms BEST represents these data?
Organisms can be organized by their similarities and differences. The incomplete cladogram shows the relationship between some invertebrates based on their body structures.
Use the drop-down menus to construct an argument about the development of wings based on the body structures shown.
The development of wings should be placed at letter on the cladogram because the body structure is present only in organismsthat point on the cladogram.
Based on this cladogram, the common ancestor could have the trait:
What is the most specific level that all organisms share?
Which two organisms are the most closely related?
Match the names below to the correct taxonomic level:
Animalia: Carnivora:
Felis: familiaris:
The scientific name of the blue whale is Balaenoptera musculus. Based on binomial nomenclature rules, which statement is correct?
