Construct the most parsimonious phylogeny given the character
matrix below. (assume the outgroup taxon has none of the characters
listed in the matrix). The taxon names are A–H, the characters are
numbered 1–10.
Exactly two characters in this data matrix
are not useful for resolving the topology of the tree. (
