Part B: Trait Organization Below is a simplified phylogenetic tree showing the relationships among five organisms. The branching points are labeled Trait 1–4, but the evolutionary traits that define each branch are missing. ┌── Red-tailed Hawk (Present) │ Trait 4 │ └── Black Bear Trait 3 │ └── Spadefoot Toad │ Trait 2 │ └── Brook Trout Trait 1 │ └── Spruce Tree (Toward Common Ancestor) Instructions: Below is a list of five traits, but only four of them correctly describe the evolutionary branching points shown in the tree. Match each branching point (Trait 1–4) with the most appropriate trait from the list. Use each selected trait only once. One trait will not be used. Trait Options: (One trait does not fit in the tree – choose carefully.) A. Legs B. Warm-blooded C. Feathers D. Vertebrae E. Shelled egg Branching Point Trait Name Point 1 Point 2 Point 3 Point 4
