1. Please examine the character matrix below: Traits | 5 | 6 7 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 Species A 0 000 Species B 1 1 1 Species C 1 1 1 1 Species D 0 1 1 1 Species E 0 1 0000 1 Species F 1 1 1 Species G 1 1 1 1 (a) Which species is your outgroup? (b) Which traits represent synapomorphies? (c) Please build the most parsimonious phylogeny for Species A-G, making sure to include tick marks that indicate where on the phylogeny each trait likely evolved.
21) ALL BUT ONE of the statements below helps to describe gene flow. That is A) B) Without genetic variation, some of the basic mechanisms of evolutionary change cannot operate. There are three primary sources of genetic variation: 1. Mutations II. Gene flow III. Sexual reproduction D) It depends on a chance event that changes the gene pool. It can reduce the genetic differentiation between the two groups. It involves the movement of alleles from one population to another. It includes migration or the movement of individuals between populations. Some mutations always occur from generation to generation. But most mutations do not persist over time in the gene pool. Which mutation is MOST likely to become established and persist in a species?
a) How many of the gene trees do you expect to look like the species tree? b)  You observe three gene trees in which species X and Z are the closest relatives and seven gene trees where X and Y are the closest relatives. What can you conclude from these data? Group of answer choices Historical hybridization between species W and X Historical hybridization between species X and Y Historical hybridization between species X and Z Historical hybridization between species Y and Z
