Assignment: Phylogenetic tree matrix and solved tree

This assignment is a "second chance" for completing a matrix and phylogenetic tree.

Follow the instructions. Let me know if you have any questions.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Choose at least five taxa including an outgroup. For example, if you're interested in mammals you would choose at least four mammals and an obvious outgroup such as fish, insect, plant, etc. Justify the use of your specific outgroup in 1-2 sentences.

2. Find at least five characters (remember they must be homologous) and generate a matrix. Remember that the informative characters are synapomorphies.

3. Using your matrix, build a fully resolved phylogenetic tree and map character evolution onto this framework.
