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.

Linnaeus is considered as father of taxonomy. Name two other botanists known for their contribution to the field of plant taxonomy?
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. Plant groups Vascular Tissue Flowers Seeds Gymnosperms 1 0 1 Mosses 0 0 0 Ferns 1 0 0 Angiosperms 1 1 1 Select the phylogenetic tree that correctly represents the data in the character table.
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.
