Summary Introduction

To test visual skills: Find the tree showing different evolutionary history.

Introduction:

Phylogenetic tree depicts hypothesis relationship between one group and other group of organism. The tree displays five group of organism in the tip of the branch. They are interrelated and known as taxa. Every branch point symbolizes a common ancestor from the evolutionary lineages.

Part 2: Interpreting your phylogeny Use your phylogeny to answer the following questions in the spaces provided 1. Does any character exhibit evolutionary convergence (i.e., homoplasy) on this tree? If so, which one(s)? Is live birth a derived or an ancestral feature? 2. 3. If species A, B, and C were placed into their own genus based on the presence of green eyes, would this group be monophyletic, paraphyletic, or polyphyletic? If species D, E, F, and G were placed into their own genus based on the presence of red eyes, would this group be monophyletic, paraphyletic, or polyphyletic? If species F and G had green eyes, and you knew nothing about the ancestor of the group, would green eyes be more likely to be a derived trait or an ancestral trait? 4. 5. Is any character trait on the tree an autapomorphy, meaning that it is derived but not shared with any other taxa? If so, which one(s)? If not, write 'none.' 6.
PROCEDURE: Create a phylogenetic tree for the Kingdom Plantae. Include each of the main phylums discussed in the lecture (examples: Bryophytes, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms, etc.) Page 1
Constructing a Phylogenetic Tree Now, you are going to create and the interpret your own phylogenetic tree. Take a look at the characteristics for these organisms. Seeds? Plant Group Photosynthesis? Water-conducting Tissue? Flowers? Ferns X Gymnosperms Mosses X Angiosperms X Using the characteristics from the table above, determine where each of these organisms belongs on the tree below, then answer the questions. D В Which plant group belongs at position "B"? mosses gymnosperms angiosperms ferns
