Question: 2. The image below shows the evolution of different characters (indicated by different numbers) along the branches of a phylogenetic tree. All of these characters

2. The image below shows the evolution of different characters (indicated by different numbers) along the branches of a phylogenetic tree. All of these characters are binary, so they can only take the values 0 or 1. A filled box indicates a change from 0 to 1 (0 -> 1) and an open box indicates a change from 1 to 0 (1 -> 0). All character states are 0 at the root of the tree. Based on this tree and character map, all of the characters with open boxes... ... have undergone an evolutionary reversal ... exhibit convergence ... have changed more than once in the tree ... have less homoplasy than all other characters Two of the above
