Species in blue produce a toxin called vampyrin; species in black do not produce the toxin. A new species in the genus, Y quex, has been identified but it has not yet been tested for toxin production. Given the phylogeny, if you were asked to predict if Y. quex produced vampyrin, you would need to apply the concept of

Explanation / Answer

In this question, you need to predict if the new species discovered, Y.quex produces the toxin element or not. This has to be predicted in relation of the new species with the given phylogeny. In the phylogenetic tree mentioned, the species whose names are written in blue would be producing the toxins. Hence, you require to find out the concept that would be used for predicting if the new species contains toxins as well.
