In what way is the change observed in Naegleria gruberi problematic for building phylogenies of microbial eukaryotes using morphological data in general? (50-word limit) a. The two body forms are an example of homoplasious morphology. b. It is possible to confuse Naegleria gruberi’s two forms for two species. c. The two body forms could lead to incorrect placement on a phylogeny: with amoeboid instead of flagellate organisms, or vice versa. d. a and b. e. b and c.

hello

the change observed in Naegleria gruberi, where it exhibits two distinct body forms (amoeboid and flagellate), poses challenges for building phylogenies based on morphological data.

the correct answer is c. The two body forms could lead to incorrect placement on a phylogeny: with amoeboid instead of flagellate organisms, or vice versa.

correct me if I’m wrong & hope this helps ^^
