Chapter 10, Problem 1AAATB
Summary Introduction
To write:
An evolutionary tree among the flowering trees listed according to the Linnaeus classification.
Introduction:
Linnaeus classification assigns each organism a kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Each level is included in the level above it and levels get increasingly specific from kingdom to species. This classification is not based on evolution. The phylogenetic classification names the group of organisms that have descended from a common ancestor.

Now you will practice identifying the phylogenetic tree that corresponds to a given character table. The following table shows three key events in the evolution of plants: the development of vascular tissue, the development of flowers, and the development of seeds.

Select the phylogenetic tree that correctly represents the data in the character table.
Construct a cladogram based on the following data. Mosses are plants with no vascular tissue. Horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (pines and other plants with naked seeds), and angiosperms (flowering plants) are all vascularplants. Seeds are absent in all but the gymnosperms and angiosperms. Angiosperms are the only seed plants with flowers
Create a hypothetical phylogenetic tree using 11 plant species listed below.
Chara, Nitella, Marchantia, Polytrichum, Equistem, Psilotum, Polypodium, Pinus, Zamia, Arabidopsis, and Lilium.
Divide the species into five specific groups (Charophytes, Bryophytes, Monolithophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms) which will be the clades of your phylogenetic tree.
