It is a hypothetical diagram which represents evolutionary relationships among organisms. It shows how organisms are connected to an ancestor or different organisms have any common ancestors. A phylogenetic tree can be built using any characteristic like body type/shape, behavior, biochemical, etc. It should start from the root i.e. the ancestor and should further branch out into more specific organisms belonging to the similar groups.
Based on this phylogenetic tree, answer the following questions: A: What is the sister group to Ephedra? _________ B: Which clade have the unique character (synapomorphy) 'vessels porose? ________ C. Are there any unresolved branches/polytomies in this tree? If so, mark it/them with a star. _________ D. What is the closest relative of Angiospermae (flowering plants)? ___________ E. Mark a groupings of terminals that would be paraphyletic with a circle. __________ D. Give a name of a group in the...
7. What is the basal taxon in the phylogenetic tree you drew? 8. Which branch point represents the last common ancestor of all species in the phylogenetic tree you drew? if they 9. Would your drawn phylogenetic tree differ if characters arose more than once or disappeared? Explain. UT Tail B Dorsal fin Hoins Spots -F claw orearm SPiked tail teeth Clow

keep mixing up my phylogenetic tree I know how to the distances but
my tables are not decreasing for me to correctly draw the tree .
Help please with computing calues ans tree

According to the phylogenetic tree of chordates in Figure 1,
how would you describe the relatedness of the outgroup species to
other chordates?
a) The painted tunicate is more
closely related to lampreys than to sharks
b) The painted tunicate is not as
highly evolved as the remainder of the chordates
c) The painted...

Matias constructs a phylogenetic tree with 3 internal nodes and 4 external nodes, representing different genera. How many clades would this phylogenetic tree have? Group of answer choices 3 7 5 9 4
Draw a phylogenetic tree linking fungi, algae and protozoa.
In a phylogenetic tree, shared ancestral characters are shared by all members of the tree while derived characters evolved later and are shared by only some of them. True or False
How do biologists use the parsimony method when constructing a phylogenetic tree? If there is only one true evolutionary history for any group of species, discuss the possible reasons why the taxonomists analyzing genetic data (e.g., DNA sequence data) versus those analyzing morphological data may suggest different phylogenetic relationships among the same exact group of species? 4) Describe how the agnathans differ from other fish? Compare the morphology and natural history of hagfishes and lampreys. Your answer should include (at...
Using the sequence below, create a phylogenetic tree using this unknown bacterial species and four related bacteria (there should be 5 branches in total on your tree). You will have to BLAST this sequence, and then create a phylogenetic tree as was described in class. The phylogenetic tree should be included in this assignment as a PDF or screen shot—the tree should not be hand-written.
