When you are done with your final draft, draw your tree on the board. Keep in mind the following guidelines: a. Your outgroup will be Rhodophyta (red algae) which do not contain chloroplasts with both chlorophyll a + b. b.Be sure all species above make it on to your tree c.Label novel characteristics d.Keep in mind the concept of parsimon

Answer 1

Phylogenetic trees represents hypothetical concept about the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms. It may be built using the morphological, biochemical, behavioral features of species or other group of organisms. The phylogenetic trees about the different groups of plant kingdom is shown as below.

This is the above phylogenetic tree.
