(A) Draw the phylogeny (can be hand-drawn; scan/photo) of the various species given to you in Table Remember that derived traits are those that are different from the outgroup. Indicate on the phylogeny where all the derived traits have occurred. (B) (C) Identify any homoplasies (derived traits found in more than one taxon without a recent common ancestor) on your tree. (D) Identify any autapomorphies (derived traits found in only one taxa) on your tree. Include a figure number and a descriptive title with species names.
