Refer to the pic1 showing a single viral plaque that was split by 400 generations and grown in the presence of a mutagen. Based on this tree, which lineage should share the most synapomorphies with the E lineage? A. The B lineage B. The D lineage C. The F lineage D. The G lineage E. The outgroup lineage

Phylogenetic trees compare gene or genome sequences to understand a number of aspects about the evolutionary trajectories of viruses that infect humans, including SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that invaded humans in late 2019, leading to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The phylogeny below shows evolutionary relationships between viruses that have all been assigned to the coronavirus family. Explain, using this phylogenetic tree, how virologists have concluded each of the following: a. The current SARS-CoV-2 virus causing COVID-19 in the human population most likely involved the transfer of a similar coronavirus infecting bats into humans. b. Bat and human SARS-CoV viruses share a most recent common ancestor with MERS-CoV. c. The SARS-CoV virus causing the first epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome evolved the ability to infect human cells much earlier in time than the current SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Based on the sequence alignment provided in the table, build a pairwise distance matrix for the species (hint: the substitution count would serve as the distance proxy). elephant- ACGAATGGT human- CCTACTACT cow-GCTATTTCT dog- GCTAGTTCT mouse- CCAACTACT ii) Draw the likely phylogenetic tree describing relationships between these species (hint: any distance-based method applied manually will get you to the same result). iii) What are the pairs of sister species in this tree?
