Sequencing which of the following would probably be most useful in sorting out evolutionary relationships among these closely related species?

The control of gastric acid secretion in response to a meal involves several events that take place over a 4- or 5-hr period following the meal. These events include
(1) a decrease in the pH of the gastric contents,
(2) an increase in the rate of acid secretion,
(3) a decrease in the rate of acid secretion, and
(4) an increase in the pH of the gastric contents. Which of the following best describes
the correct temporal order of events over a 4- or 5-hr period following a meal?

Triploids are usually autopolyploids. They arise spontaneously in nature, but they can be constructed by geneticists from the cross of a 4n (tetraploid) and a 2n (diploid). Triploids are characteristically sterile due to
