Question

LAB 8 NAME SECTION You may want to reorganize your taxa in Table 8-3 so your character table can be easily read and used to build your phylogenetic tree. TABLE 8-3. Character Table Reorganized for Nine Animal Taxa Taxa Fish Frog Selemanded Turtle Bird Liceord Rabbit cat Mole Vertebrae Herrestrial Locomotion Neck المهامه Characters Articulation canines extra thumb forelimb carapace Results and Discussion 1. Draw a tree below based on your character table (Table 8-3) among taxa, and map the charac. ter states on the tree for derived characters that you identified. This is your second phylogeny based on morphology. (2 pts)

Answer 1

First of all, you have to look for the outgroup in this data matrix. Here fish is an outgroup. Because the most of character are in primitige state.

Now look in the image for phylogenetic tree:
