Answer: Correct options B, D and E.
Explanation:
In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)
Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.
We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.
So D is also true.
We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,
The process of water moving through the soil is called percolation or ground water recharge. In this process water oozes, seeps, or filter through the soil beneath the surface, without a defined channels, or in a course that is unknown and not discoverable from surface indications without excavation for that purpose. Percolation and infiltration are two related but different processes describing the movement of water through the soil. Infiltration involves the downward entry of water into the soil or rock surface while percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.<span />
Answer:The correlated trait exercise shows that when two characters are correlated, the optimal values and selection strengths rise and fall together.
Explanation: Correlation refers to statistical (linear) relationship between two random variables. When traits are correlated, change in one is associated with change in the other.
Correlation coefficient (c.c.) measures strength of association between two variables in the same individual or experiment. It can range from -1 to +1. C.c. can be positive, negative or weak.
1. A positive c.c. means that an increase in one variable is associated with an increase in the other variable.
2. A negative c.c. means that an increase in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other.
3. A c.c. near zero indicates a weak relationship between the variables.
Correlation can be represented by scatter plot as shown in the attached image.

Explanation:
As the new flock of birds arrives in the city, there will be a sudden surge in the population of these birds. Since there are no predators of the birds around in this city, the population will remain at a higher number as time passes by during the next decade or so.
