By the end of this workshop, students will be able to:

[**FILL IN TEXT HERE**]
- explain how a phylogenetic tree represents history and ancestry
- use `iToL` to visualise a variety of phylogenetic tree types
- describe and interpret the _topology_ of a tree
- generate a phylogenetic tree for a protein sequence and its homologues using UniProt, `MUSCLE`, and `iToL`
- explain the difference between a _gene tree_ and a _species tree_
- compare a gene tree with a species tree to interpret evolutionary history

## Assessment

The workshop is not formally assessed although, as noted above, all the material contained in the workshop is examinable. [**FILL IN TEXT HERE**]
The workshop is not formally assessed although, as noted above, all the material contained in the workshop is examinable. We have provided formative exercises to help you measure your progress.

::: { .callout-important }
There are four formative exercises in this workshop, and they can be found on the workshop [MyPlace page]({{< var myplace.bm211 >}}). You should complete these as part of the workshop.

## Answer 01

The total distance from the LCA to the leaf node for a species represents the total amount of genetic change. More straightforwardly here, the species whose leaf node is farthest to the right in @fig-tree-newick-01 has accumulated the most genetic change since the LCA. Of the four options presented, the species with greatest genetic change since the LCA is `G`.

## Answer 02

We have to be careful with the interpretation because the **lengths of branches represent genetic change, not time**. However, moving from left to right we can see that `A`, `B`, `C`, `D`, and `E` derived from a single common ancestor. The order in which the individual species emerged is the order of speciations from left to right in this tree. So, `E` diverged first, then `D`, `C`, `B` and `A` in that order. The earliest specietion is the one involving species `E`, so the answer is the speciation separating `C` and `E`.

### Ancestry and history

Phylogenetic trees represent patterns of shared ancestry and history between lineages. For instance, in @fig-tree-newick-03 common and unique ancestors of `A`, `B` and `C` are indicated, as are common and unique histories of `I` and `J`.

## Answer 03

From those listed, the branch that accumulated the most genetic change is the longest of the branches. The shared history of `I` and `J` is the longest of these, so has accumulated the most genetic change.

### Clades

A _clade_ is a grouping on the tree that includes a common ancestor and all of its descendants. We call a group with these properties _monpphyletic_ (i.e. it comprises a single phylum). @fig-tree-newick-04 shows examples of clades in the `iToL` tree you generated.

## Answer 04

Group 1, (`J`, `K`, `L`) does not form a clade because the common ancestor of these species also has `I` as a descendent, and it is not included in the group.

Group 2, (`F`, `G`, `H`) forms a clade (see @fig-tree-newick-04).

Group 3, (`D`, `E`) does not form a clade because the common ancestor of these species also has `A` , `B`, and `C` as descendents, and they are not included in the group.

Group 4, (`K`, `L`) does form a clade as `K`, `L` and all descendants from their common ancestor are included.

Thus, the answer is **only groups 2 and 4 form clades**.
