Question
4). Reconstruct the phylogeny that most simply and accurately accounts for the distribution of
synapomorphies among ingroup species. Given matrices as small and simple as the above
example, one can "build" the tree from the bottom up in a series of sketches, adding clades or
branches representing groups with the fewest synapomorphies near the base of the tree and
those with the most at the tips. Using the unlabeled phylogeny as a starting point, draw the
stepwise construction of a fully resolved phylogeny to account for all of the synapomorphies,
and include the synapomorphies that identify each clade (the first one, character 2, is included
to get you started; this is shared by all members of the ingroup).
