Chapter 26, Problem 9TYU

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • DRAW IT (a) Draw a phylogenetic tree based on characters 1-5 in the table below. Place hatch marks on the tree to indicate the origin(s) of characters 1-6. (b) Assume that tuna and dolphins are sister species and redraw the phylogenetic tree accordingly. Use hatch marks to indicate the origin(s) of characters 1-6. (c) Determine how many evolutionary changes are required in each tree. Identify the most parsimonious tree.
