Chapter 20.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To draw:
A phylogenetic tree as new evidence indicates that taxon E, with reference to Figure. 20.5 “How to read a phylogenetic tree”, in the textbook, is the sister taxon of a group consisting of taxa D and F.
Introduction:
The branching diagram that represents evolutionary history of organisms is known as phylogenetic tree. Phylogenetic tree also helps in identifying the DNA sequence of related organisms as well as of different organisms.

Please answer question 3
A- species A and B are considered sister taxa
B- A trait unique to species G is best described as a plesiomoephy among all taxa
C- A trait unique to species K and L is best described as an apomorphy among all taxa
D- A trait in common between species E, F, and G would make them a monophyletic group
