The question is simple and asks to fill out the table the info below is supplementary. I just want to know how to go about doing this. thanks

You will apply the method of parsimony to resolve the evolutionary relationship of the five species using the AdhIB dataset. There are 20 amino acids and each is represented with a different letter of the alphabet.

\"Phylogenetically informative\" characters are those that can discriminate between at least two of the n possible trees by the criterion of parsimony. In other words, informative characters have states that are shared at least two taxa. For example, a character that has the distribution [A,B,C,D,E] is not phylogenetically informative (also, [A,A,A,A,A] or [A,A,A,B,A]); but a character that has the distribution [A,A,B,B,C] is.

Now, try to fill in the character states for each of the species listed below: (Table is below the image)

Position no.20, 52, and 58 are Phylogenetically informative.

Going by the position no. 20 and 52, Human, Chimpanzee, and Gorilla are more closely related than mouse and Orangutan.

Wheras, position no, 58 brings Orangutan and Chimpanzee closer phylogenetically.
