Question

For this problem I am supposed to show all of the evolutionary steps of the four trees and show the most parisomonius tree. I got the steps wrong and parisomonius tree wrong the first time so I am hoping someone can help me with this. Thanks

Part Il: Making Trees (Phylogenetic Inference) Building Trees using Parsimony IL.1 Below is a character (trait) matrix for four taxa (A-D). The columns show the DNA bases at tive positions. Below the matrix are five of the 15 possible trees that can be generated with four taxa. Of these five, which is the most parsimonious (fewest evolutionary transitions or steps), given the data matrix? A B C D A B C D ABCDA BC D

Explanation / Answer

According to the given data,most parsimonious tree is always the shortest possible tree ,means that in comparison to the true evolutionary tree of an organism.Under this condition,the shortest possible tree explaining data is considered best.As the given DNA sequence,figure(b) represent the maximum parsimonious tree in which sequence of base pair showing the least homoplasy or parallel evolution,convergent evolution.
