Phylogenetic trees are used to show the evolutionary relationships among various biological species and are usually based upon shared derived characters. In constructing phylogenetic trees, it is useful to first draw up a character table to show the presence or absence of characters among the various groups of organisms being studied.
a. Draw up a character table based upon the following shared derived characters of land plants: flowers, seeds, vascular tissues, and dependent embryos. Your character table must include the names/descriptions of the plant groups that are being characterized.
b. Construct a phylogenetic tree based on this data.
Which statement is usually true about phylogenetic trees?
a) nodes represent points when traits have evolved
b) branch tips that are next to each other are more closely related
c) the branching pattern describes the hypothesized evolutionary relationships between the taxa
d) the order of the branch tips (left to right) indicates which taxa are more advanced evolutionarily
a) What is a phylogenetic tree?
b) What is a branch point?
c) What are sister taxa?
d) What is a ‘rooted’ phylogenetic tree?

Which of the following statements is correct? Tree (1) and Tree (2) are the same tree. Tree (2) and Tree (4) are the same tree. Tree (2) and Tree (3) are the same tree. All four trees are in fact the same tree. All four trees are in fact different trees.arrow_forwardPhylogenetic trees are constructed based on parsimony the idea that the simplest answer is the misy likely. Explain why a parsimonious tree is a likely but not the only possible answer when depicting evolutionary relationships.arrow_forward
- Based on the past activities about constructing of phylogenetic trees, how do you distinguish characteristics between primitive and derived characteristics? provide and example to your answerarrow_forwardPhylogenetic trees are diagrams used to reflect evolutionary relationships among organisms or groups of organisms. _______ trees have a single ancestral line to which all organisms in the diagram relate to. ______ do not have a common ancestor but do show relationships among species.arrow_forwardUsing the picture below, make a phylogenetic tree. Make sure that all seven (7) creatures, including the outgroup, are on the tree and assigned their own branch. Make sure all parts of the tree are properly labeled. Circle the different clades/monophyletic groups (many will be overlapping and that's okay). ALSO, In the lineage leading to each new node, be sure to indicate the shared derived character and how it has changed (e.g., if the synapomorphy was having eyes, we would indicate this on the tree by drawing something like this no eyes > eyes). Don't forget to add the root! Finally, circle all your clades/ monophyletic groups and give them informative names like a good little systematist! Please follow all these steps to create the phylogenetic tree. Do it correctly and completely. Do not use previous versions/answers.arrow_forward
- Redraw and rearrange the branches of the tree below to make the most parsimonious(simplest) tree. A minus (“-“) next to a character indicates that that particular character isnot present in the taxa connected to that branch.arrow_forwardWhere in a phylogenetic tree would you expect to find the organism that had evolved most recently? a. at the base b. within the branches c. at the nodes d. at the branch tipsarrow_forwardIn a phylogenetic tree, Species 1 and 2 are distantly related to one another but are both darkly pigmented. Species 3 which is unpigmented is a sister taxon to Species 2. The common ancestor to all three species is darkly pigmented; thus, this trait in the phylogeny is considered to be a - A. homoplasy. B. synapomorphy. C. apomorphy. D. symplesiomorphy.arrow_forward

Is the triangle a synapomorphy orpleisomorphy (circle one)? C. Is the circle a synapomorphy orsympleisomorphy (circle one)?arrow_forwardA cladogram used in a comparison of morphology among taxa had equal length branches, but when looked at in a blast webpage using the given gene sequence, the branches all had different lengths. Why is that?arrow_forward
