DRAW IT (a) Draw a phylogenetic tree based on characters 1- 5 1n the table below. Place hatch marks on the tree to md1cate the origin(s) of characters 1-6. (b) Assume that tuna and dolphins are sister species, and redraw the phylogenetic tree accordingly. Use hatch marks to indicate the origin(s) of characters 1–6. (c) How· many evolutionary changes are required in each tree? Which tree is most parsimonious?

To apply parsimony to constructing a phylogenetic tree, (A) choose the tree that assumes all evolutionary changes are equally probable. (B) choose the tree in which the branch points are based on as many shared derived characters as possible. (C) choose the tree that represents the fewest evolutionary changes,in either DNA sequences or morphology. (D) choose the tree with the fewest branch points.
