Part 1: Which species is the basal species (outgroup)?
Part 2: The dominant trait for texture for Species 2 is sticky and the recessive trait is
soft. The allele frequency for the dominant allele is 0.15. Calculate the frequency for
the recessive allele in this population.
Identify the outgroup from the phylogenetic trees and box/mark the whole lineage in red.
Identify the most recent common ancestor for species A and B and mark it in blue. Identify the
most recent common ancestor for species C and D and mark it in green.

Use the information and model to answer the following question.
Phylogenetic trees are a type of model that can be used to show how organisms are
related through common ancestry. The phylogenetic tree model represents nodes
numbered 1 through 8.

Using evidence from the phylogenetic tree determine which species would
be MOST closely related to the species on branch C?
O A. The species on Branches F, G, H, and I are all equally related to the species
on branch C because they all split from a common ancestor at the same
time which is illustrated by having nodes 2 and 7 at the same height.
O B. The species on Branch A & B are both most closely related to the species on
branch C because they share the most most recent common ancestor at
node 2.
C. The species on Branch B is most closely related to the species on branch c
because they share the greatest number of common +ancestors.
D. The species on Branch A is most closely related to the species on branch C
because they…

For example, did the claws appear (or disappear) as the different species evolved? 4.Take a picture of your phylogenetic tree and submit it with this document. ***Please note, this lab can be frustrating because you are “creating” the evolutionary story of how these critters evolved and who is more closely related to who (or not) along the way.
