Question

map the changes and determine the score

Ancestor is C. Score: Human Chimpanzee Gorilla Orangutan Gibbon Rhesus macaque Japanese macaque Crab-eating macaque Barbary macaque Squirrel monkey Tarsier Ring-tailed lemur

Column 49. This question should be done by HAND.

a. This column has evolved to contain all 4 nucleotides in different species. It is therefore a very variable column in the character matrix. Determine the most parsimonious number of changes for the circumstance where the ancestor is each of the 4 nucleotides. In other words, first assume the ancestor is "A". How many changes would need to happen in the tree to produce the data we observe? On each tree, map changes when they occur and record your answer in the space for "score".
