select all the correct answers. based on the phylogenetic chart, which three statements are true about the relationship between the organisms? a human is more closely related to a mouse than a kangaroo. a platypus is more closely related to kangaroo than a mouse. a human and a kangaroo share common features because of a common ancestor. a platypus and a mouse are more closely related than a platypus and a kangaroo. a kangaroo and a mouse are more closely related than a mouse and a human.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. In a phylogenetic chart, the closer two organisms are on the branches, the more closely - related they are.
  2. Humans and mice share a more recent common ancestor compared to humans and kangaroos, so a human is more closely related to a mouse than a kangaroo.
  3. Platypus and kangaroo are both marsupials (kangaroo) and monotremes (platypus) which are more closely related compared to platypus and mouse.
  4. All organisms in the chart share a common ancestor at some point, so a human and a kangaroo share common features because of a common ancestor.
  5. A platypus and a mouse are not as closely related as a platypus and a kangaroo.
  6. A mouse and a human are more closely related than a kangaroo and a mouse.

Answer:

A. A human is more closely related to a mouse than a kangaroo. B. A platypus is more closely related to kangaroo than a mouse. C. A human and a kangaroo share common features because of a common ancestor.
