How many amino acid differences are there between a chimpanzee and kangaroo

Why is mating between two individuals of opposite sex considered a selected trait or characteristic in the evolution of most species?

Analyse evolutionary mechanisms (e.g., natural selection, sexual selection, genetic variation, genetic drift, artificial selection, biotechnology) and their effects on biodiversity and extinction (e.g., describe examples that illustrate current theories of evolution, such as the darkening over time, in polluted areas, of the pigment of the peppered moth, an example of industrial melanism).

Create a phylogenetic tree of selected group of vertebrates which will show evolutionary relationships.

• Bull
• Panda
• Cocker spaniel
• Bison
• Lion
• Kiwi
• Cat
• Frog
• Spider
• Sea turtle
• Sea star
• Moth
• Duck billed platypus
• Koala bear
• Zebra
• Large mouth bass
• Hermit crab
• Penguin
• Coral snake
• Shrimp
• Walrus
• Jellyfish
• Cockroach
• Octopus

The tree should based on physical characteristics such as

1. Presence or absence of backbone
2. Ability to breath air or water
3. Cold or warm blooded
4. Carnivore, omnivore, herbivore
5. Presence or absence of hair/fur
6. Horns
