21) Draw the most parsimonious hypothesis of relationships among the 5 taxa below based on the given data matrix. The most parsimonious answer is the cladogram that requires the fewest number of evolutionary changes when mapped on the tree. Label the evolution of each character state at each branch. A coding of "0" in this example indicates that character is absent and a coding of "1" indicates that the character is present. The animals for the coding include a frog (outgroup), a hawk, a duck, a horse, and a koala. After drawing the most parsimonious tree | please take a picture of it and upload it into the quiz on D2L. ingroup . . Characters- .
