Chapter 24, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
An imaginary phylogenetic tree has to be created for an ancestral species along with ten descendants. A monophyletic group, a polyphyletic group, and a paraphyletic group have to be marked on the tree. The identified groups, which are marked on the tree must match the definitions of mentioned three groups.
Introduction:
The pictorial representation of an evolutionary relationship that exists among the living organisms is shown by a phylogenetic tree. The phylogenetic tree is based upon the similarities and differences in the genetic and morphological traits. The diversity of an organism can be easily studied using the phylogenetic tree as it indicates the relationship between the organisms.

Match the following phylogenetic group terms with their correct definitions:
Monophyletic: A group that includes a common ancestor and all of its descendants
Monophyletic: A group that includes a common ancestor but not all of its descendants
Paraphyletic: A group that includes a common ancestor and all of its descendants
Paraphyletic: A group that includes a common ancestor but not all of its descendants
Polyphyletic: A group that includes a common ancestor and all of its descendants
Polyphyletic: A group that does not include the most recent common ancestor of its members
Examine the following phylogenetic tree illustrated in Figure shown in the first picture.
In general, what does a phylogenetic tree illustrate?
How do you compare the relationships of organisms BB, CC, and DD?
Given the following organisms in the Table in the second picture, number them in terms of which is relatively closest and distant. Number 1 refers to closest.
Assign the correct phylogenetic term to this image. In this image, the red circles represent
species included in the taxon while the white ones are not included in the taxon. The pink
bars represent the lineages presented in the taxon.

- 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? Question options: The species on Branch A is most closely related to the species on branch C because they share the most recent common ancestor at node 1. The species on Branch B is most closely related to the species on branch C because they share the greatest number of common +ancestors. 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. 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…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_forwardIdentify the outgroup from the phylogenetic trees and box/mark the whole lineage in red.

- When constructing phylogenetic trees, what is the purpose of applying maximum parsimony? Parsimony allows the researcher to "root" the tree. For trees based on morphology, the most parsimonious tree requires the maximum evolutionary events. The outgroup roots the tree, allowing the principle of parsimony to be applied. For trees based on morphology, the most parsimonious is the one that uses the simplest explanation of evolutionary events.arrow_forwardExamine the following phylogenetic tree illustrated in Figure shown in the picture.
