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.

Interpret a phylogenetic tree to determine degrees of relatedness between species or other taxa.
Molecular biology techniques have led to molecular systematics – creating phylogenetic tree hypotheses based on DNA. You did this yourself in class, creating a phylogenetic tree that compared some major Phyla of animals. What is the basic concept behind using DNA to create these trees – what assumptions are made? Do you think this is a reasonable way to study evolutionary history of living things? Explain.
Which of the following provides the strongest support that a proposed phylogenetic tree is an accurate reflection of the real genealogical relationships among a set of species? a. Phylogenetic methods applied to multiple, independent sources of evidence (e.g. comparisons of independently evolving genes, or comparisons between DNA-based analysis vs. morphological analysis) provide support for the same evolutionary tree b. The phylogeny was based on the Maximum Parsimony method applied to DNA sequence data for lineages with high rates of evolution...
Draw a phylogenetic tree linking fungi, algae and protozoa.
Which of the following phylogenetic trees depicts an evolutionary history that is different from the other three? 1. 2. 3. 4. D B CA BA C D C AB D C AB D 4
Interpret the phylogenetic tree.
Drag "True" or "False" to the end of each statement.
The single branch for bacterium could be expanded to show the
relationships of many species of bacteria.
This tree shows that a bacterium is the lowest form of life.
The bacteria that are alive today are the common ancestors of
all other organisms.
This tree could be rotated so that the branch for bacterium is
on the top rather than the bottom of the tree.

Which shows the most likely evolutionary relationship among
living species?
