11. Describe 2 conclusions that can be made from this information.

The information below describes the most specific levels of classification that the mushroom sea squirt, Sycozoa gaimardi,

shares with four other organisms.

12. To which of the four organisms is the mushroom sea squirt most closely related?

• The mushroom sea squirt is in the same class as the common sea grape.

• The mushroom sea squirt is in the same family as the blue spot ascidian.

• The mushroom sea squirt is in the same order as the white speck tunicate.

• The mushroom sea squirt is in the same phylum as the starry skate.

14. Four students researched the classifications of the following eight

whales:

killer whale, Orcinus orca

gray whale, Eschrichtius robustus

humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae

pygmy right whale, Caperea marginata

fin whale, Balaenoptera physalus

minke whale, Balaenoptera acutorostrata

North Atlantic right whale, Eubalaena glacialis

bowhead whale, Balaena mysticetus

The students were asked which two whales are most closely related and why.

The table below summarizes the students’ answers.

Based on the classifications, which student gave the correct answer to the

question?
