Chapter 20.5, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction

To draw:

The three possible dichotomously branching trees showing evolutionary relationships for the domains Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Also to discuss whether when two of these trees have been supported by genetic data, would it be likely that the third tree might also receive such support.

Introduction:

The phylogenetic tree is also known as the evolutionary tree. It is a branched diagram for evolutionary relationships among species based on their genetic and physical characteristics.

WHAT IF? What evolutionary processes might accountfor prokaryotes having smaller genomes than eukaryotes?
choose correct option nd Do explain 1. Which of the phylogenetic trees in the Figure is the most accurate? Explain your answer. Note: the mitochondria and chloroplasts are from maize, but they are treated as independent “organisms” for the purposes of this question.         a.             Tree (a)     b.             Tree (b)     c.             Tree (c)     d.             Tree (d)     e.             Tree (e)
Please create a phylogenetic (evolutionary) tree given this criteria and follow all points! There are three domains of life - Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Start by drawing these three main branches. Then add branches for plants, animals, fungi, and protists. When adding all these branches, don't just add them randomly. The branching pattern reflects evolutionary relationships. You should use the relationships/branching patterns. Then add additional branches for • three species of bacteria • three species of archaea three species of plants three species of animals • three species of fungi • three species of protists (single-celled eukaryotes) You can pick any species you want. For each species, be sure to add 1 synapomorphy (shared derived character) that defines the species or group. • Finally, label the tree with all the terms (parts of a tree, not phylogenetic groups) when describing a phylogenetic tree.
