Question

A) Use the instructions in the PAUP Part 1 homework exercise and build a parsimony tree using the branch and bound search strategy for the DNA version of the data. You can consider this to be a tree that is correctly rooted, with the genus Mollugo being most distantly related to the cacti. The two data files all have Mollugo listed first, so PAUP will default to rooting the trees with it. Turn in a screen shot of this tree and indicate what species (or clade) is the closest relative of the clade consisting of the five cacti. [You can add an arrow on your screen shot or answer as text] B) Now do the same thing for the protein version of the data. C) Describe if and how the two trees differ. Be sure to use accurate and precise terminology to describe these trees
