Below are six faces. Each face represents a species. Seven characters are listed in the table, along with an ancestral and a derived character state for each character. Please identify the derived characters and complete a character matrix for these species that includes only the derived characters. Species 6 is the outgroup in this problem, so assume that it possesses only ancestral characters. 1 Character Neck size Jaw shape Eyebrows Ears 2 Eyes Tail Nose 3 Character States Big neck, small neck Round jaw, pointy jaw Angled brow, rounded brow Human ears, cat ears Square eyes, round eyes Tail, no tail Small nose, large nose (O 4 5 6
