Question
Can somebody help me with this please. The questions that need to be addressed are “Does Gomphrena in Norh America represent a monophyletic lineage?” Including, “Is there molecular phylogenetic support for combining the names G. decumbens and G. dispersa under the single name G. serrata?” However , if you could provide supporting evidence for these questions that would be great. I need to write an extended abstract on this. Thank you! (The first picture is a strict consensus tree constructed from the phylogeny of the North American Gomphrena to help assist you in the questions)! ..7mternanthera-flavescens hiternanthera-costaricensis Aternanthera coracasana G-Pilosa-a15- ITSS Pedersenia-903-ITSS mdestromiq lanaginosa Eus4u70 Tidest romi a -Suftrutico54 RY1P Froelichia, interrupta-nyi?4884-1 IFroelichia-floridana-AYP4380.1 Guilleminea-densa. aggregata Gomphrena-boliviana-Nyl75a 1 6-cespitosa-rss Gomfhre na-kanisil-K P8758801 16. decumbens-nich-a17-mss ssonarae SON- aal Gomphrena sonoraeExplanation / Answer
A monophyetic group has all the descendants in the same but here not all descendants are present.
