Question 8

Short Answer

You obtain the following sequence data from a group of related populations:  Base #: 123456789 Ancestral sequence: AAT TCA  GGA  Descendant  population #1:AAT TCA  GGA  Descendant  population #2:AATCCAGAA Descendant  population #3:AATCAAGGA Descendant  population #4:AAACAGG\begin{array}{lllll}\text { Base \#: } & 123456789 & & \\\text { Ancestral sequence: } & A A T & \text { TCA } & \text { GGA } & \text { Descendant }&\text { population } \\\# 1: & A A T & \text { TCA } & \text { GGA } & \text { Descendant }&\text { population } \\\# 2: & A A T & \mathrm{CCA} & \mathrm{GAA} & \text { Descendant } &\text { population }\\\# 3: & \mathrm{AAT} & \mathrm{CAA} & \mathrm{GGA} & \text { Descendant }&\text { population } \\\# 4: & A \mathrm{AACA} G G &\end{array} Construct a phylogenetic tree that fits the data and requires the least amount of genetic change, in other words, t most parsimonious outcome. Indicate which genetic changes occurred, if any, that were passed down to descendant populations.
