Question
Create a phylogenetic tree
You will use the genetic data below to produce a phylogenetic
the five organisms.
1. Score your organisms for each of the ten genetic characters and create a pairwise table as you
did in activity 11.2. (Hint: the great white shark is the most primitive of these five animals so
you should assume its character is the ancestral one).
2. Use the pairwise table to draw a phylogenetic tree of these five animals on your poster board.
