Question

A student is developing a hypothesis about the relationships between different vertebrates based on a comparison of their skeletal structures.
This student is using

• A. Molecular analysis
• B. Morphology
• C. Physiology
• D. Population genetics

Answer 1

The correct option is B Morphology

Molecular analysis is the branch of science that analyzes genetic differences in DNA sequences in order to obtain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships. Morphology is the branch of science that deals with the study of forms and structures of organism. Physiology is the branch of science that deals with the functions of organisms and their parts. Population genetics is the branch of science that deals with the genetic variation within populations. A student is using morphology in order to develop a hypothesis about the relationships between different vertebrates.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Morphology.'
