Five types of birds were evaluated for sequence homology (The Blue/Gold Macaws, Parakeets, Cockatiels, the Gouldian Finch, and the Jenday Conure). The data below represent the results using percentage distance x 1000 as distance measures. Use the distance matrix to determine the UPGMA for these data. Please round all numerical values correctly to 3 decimal digits. After you have determined your phylogenic tree, answer the questions below. Four trees are drawn below. Determine which tree has the correct shape for your data set. Note that the lengths of the lines may not be correct proportionally.
A) The correct tree for these data is Tree X, Tree W, Tree Y, or Tree Z
B) The OTU represented by #1 on the correct tree is GF, JC, C
C) The OTU represented by #2 on the correct tree is GF, JC, or C
D) The OTU represented by #3 on the correct tree is JC, C, or GF
Type in the distance represented by each number on the correct tree in the spaces below. Be sure to round your answer properly to 3 decimal digits.
A) The distance represented by #4 is
B) The distance represented by #5 is
C) The distance represented by #6 is
D) The distance represented by #7 is
E) The distance represented by #8 is
F) The distance represented by #9 is
G) The distance represented by #10 is
H) The distance represented by #11 is
