In this study‚ we observed the difference between cladograms created with morphological traits and molecular DNA with respect to Felis cattus‚ Canis familiaris‚ Didelphis virginiana‚ Odocoileus virginianus‚ and the Equus caballus. The results demonstrated that although a species is similar or closely related in regards to morphological traits‚ it does not mean that their DNA composition will be the same. This study is significant because it demonstrates the importance

A male donkey or ass is called a jack‚ a female a jenny‚ and an offspring less than one year old a foal (male: colt‚ female: filly). While different species of the Equidae family can interbreed‚ offspring

“Lab Assignment #2 (Horse Evolution)” Through fossil records from Hyracotherium to Mesohippus to Merychippus to Pleshippus to the Equus‚ one can see the development of dentition‚ limbs and skull based on the environment that the horses adapted to with time. Environmental changes from the Eocene to the Holocene brought about natural selection as the horses’ initial characteristics could not adapt. In order to survive‚ horses evolved traits such as stronger limbs‚ tougher teeth and others that best

(ee-oh-hip-uhs)‚ meaning “dawn horse”. These first horses roamed North America during the Eocene (ee-uh-seen) Epoch. Nearly whole skeletons were found in Wyoming in 1867. Evidence of the Eohippus was also found in the 1930s in Europe. The modern horse Equus (eck- wuss) evolved from the Pliohippus during the Pliocene (plahy-uh-seen) Epoch. The Pliocene Epoch ended 11‚700 years ago (AMNH‚ 2012). There were at least 15 species‚ each evolving into the next. There were many changes during the evolution

which branched off into different genera such as grazers‚ left browsers‚ and mixed feeders. Today the Equid family is only represented by Equus genus‚ that is composed of seven to nine species‚ including zebras‚ asses‚ donkeys‚ and horses. These species are also in the order Perissodactyla‚ or odd-toed animal. Tracking the line of descent from Hyracotherium to Equus reveals several evident patterns: degradation of toe number‚ increase increment of molar teeth‚ extending of the face‚ and growth in body
