    The document describes a phylogenetic tree of animals based on 14 morphological characters, with some animals sharing characteristics at characters 9 and 14. It asks how many steps are needed in the tree and what alternate steps could be taken. It then notes that 14 characters is not many and asks what could be done to collect more data.

    What could we do in order to collect more data?

    Reconstructing Phylogeny Using Genetic Characters DNA sequence data: AAA GCT (Sp. A)

    AAC GCT (Sp. B)


    AAC GCT (Sp. C) AAA GGT (Sp. D) AAA GGT (Sp. E)

    AAA GGT (Sp. D)

    AAA GGT (Sp. E) What causes these changes? Does DNA provide more or fewer characters than morphology for evolutionary analysis?
