51) Draw a phylogenetic tree that represents our current understanding of evolutionary relationships beetween a
moss, a lycophyte, a fern, a gymnosperm, and a angiosperm. Use a charophyte alga as the outgroup. On each
branch label two things. Label a unique morphological characteristic for that group and label a unique
characteristic of their reproductive cycle.
