Studying phylogeny by producing phylogenetic trees of primates using morphological and molecular characteristics.

An assignment constructing phylogenetic trees using shared, derived morphological traits and molecular differences among 18 primate species and two outlier species has been developed. Skull and body images and a table of morphological characteristics were used to fill in a pre-fabricated tree. Molecular differences of the cytochrome b gene obtained from the NCBI website was used to generate a tree using the Phylogeny.fr website for the same 20 species. Several followup questions were provided upon completion of the assignment.
