Use the data matrix below to perform/draw a phylogenetic analysis using maximum parsimony. Show all of your work. Make sure to mark all synapomorphies and autapomorphies on each of your trees. Below each phylogeny provide the number of character state changes and then clearly indicate which is the most parsimonious phylogenetic tree. Write one sentence that indicates why this is the most parsimonious tree. 

	Characters: 0 = Absent. 1 = Present.

Outgroup	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
A	1	1	1	1	1	0	1
B	1	1	1	0	1	0	0
