Your professor wants you to construct a phylogenetic tree of orchids. She gives you tissue from seven orchid species and one lily. What is the most likely reason she gave you the lily?

#SCPH28 | Zoology
  1. to serve as an outgroup
  2. to see if the lily is a cryptic orchid species
  3. to see if the lily and the orchids show all the same shared derived characters
  4. to demonstrate likely homoplasies
