Given four hypothetical taxa, construct a tree in which Taxon G is more closely related to Taxon L than to Taxon A, but all three of these taxa are more closely related to each other than Taxon F. The most obvious way to determine the evolutionary relationship of organisms (i.e. their phylogenetic tree) is compare morphological similarities
At this time, the concept of index of refraction should be discussed on relative terms. When a substance bends light more than another, it is said to have a higher index of refraction. Oil has a higher index of refraction than water or air.Assessment: Students' responses to key concepts and their responses to additional examples.t this time, the concept of index of refraction should be discussed on relative terms.

An explanation of why refraction occurs when light travels from a medium with a given refractive index to a medium with another is easily explained by the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics (the complete method was developed in 1948 by Richard Feynman).or example, a light ray will refract as it enters and leaves glass, assuming there is a change in refractive index. A ray traveling along the normal (perpendicular to the boundary) will change speed, but not direction. Refraction still occurs in this case.
