The table above represents a distance matrix for the following taxa: Chimera, Hydra, Kraken, Narloc, Yawclor. The values in the matrix correspond to the genetic distances between pairs of taxa.

For example, the distance between taxon Chimera and taxon Hydra is 32. Distances are symmetric, meaning that both the distance between taxon Hydra and taxon Kraken is 40 and the distance between taxon Kraken and taxon Hydra is 40.

Using this distance matrix, determine the most appropriate gene tree that accurately reflects the relationships and distances between these taxa.

The table above represents a distance matrix for the following taxa: Chimera, Faylen, Manticore, Rynoth, Xeraph. The values in the matrix correspond to the genetic distances between pairs of taxa.

For example, the distance between taxon Chimera and taxon Faylen is 2. Distances are symmetric, meaning that both the distance between taxon Faylen and taxon Manticore is 42 and the distance between taxon Manticore and taxon Faylen is 42.

Using this distance matrix, determine the most appropriate gene tree that accurately reflects the relationships and distances between these taxa.

The table above represents a distance matrix for the following taxa: Elwet, Hydra, Kraken, Phoenix, Wyvern. The values in the matrix correspond to the genetic distances between pairs of taxa.

For example, the distance between taxon Elwet and taxon Hydra is 2. Distances are symmetric, meaning that both the distance between taxon Hydra and taxon Kraken is 20 and the distance between taxon Kraken and taxon Hydra is 20.

Using this distance matrix, determine the most appropriate gene tree that accurately reflects the relationships and distances between these taxa.

The table above represents a distance matrix for the following taxa: Ashen, Dibblet, Elwet, Hydra, Yawclor. The values in the matrix correspond to the genetic distances between pairs of taxa.

For example, the distance between taxon Ashen and taxon Dibblet is 48. Distances are symmetric, meaning that both the distance between taxon Dibblet and taxon Elwet is 18 and the distance between taxon Elwet and taxon Dibblet is 18.

Using this distance matrix, determine the most appropriate gene tree that accurately reflects the relationships and distances between these taxa.

The table above represents a distance matrix for the following taxa: Narloc, Phoenix, Thorret, Xeraph, Yawclor. The values in the matrix correspond to the genetic distances between pairs of taxa.

For example, the distance between taxon Narloc and taxon Phoenix is 44. Distances are symmetric, meaning that both the distance between taxon Phoenix and taxon Thorret is 50 and the distance between taxon Thorret and taxon Phoenix is 50.

Using this distance matrix, determine the most appropriate gene tree that accurately reflects the relationships and distances between these taxa.

5 taxa × 5 taxa distance matrix
taxa	Phoenix	Rynoth	Thorret	Wyvern	Yawclor
Phoenix	×	46	20	52	36
Rynoth	46	×	46	8	54
Thorret	20	46	×	48	40
Wyvern	52	8	48	×	42
Yawclor	36	54	40	42	×

The table above represents a distance matrix for the following taxa: Phoenix, Rynoth, Thorret, Wyvern, Yawclor. The values in the matrix correspond to the genetic distances between pairs of taxa.

For example, the distance between taxon Phoenix and taxon Rynoth is 46. Distances are symmetric, meaning that both the distance between taxon Rynoth and taxon Thorret is 46 and the distance between taxon Thorret and taxon Rynoth is 46.

Using this distance matrix, determine the most appropriate gene tree that accurately reflects the relationships and distances between these taxa.

5 taxa × 5 taxa distance matrix
taxa	Elwet	Kraken	Rynoth	Xeraph	Yawclor

The table above represents a distance matrix for the following taxa: Elwet, Kraken, Rynoth, Xeraph, Yawclor. The values in the matrix correspond to the genetic distances between pairs of taxa.

For example, the distance between taxon Elwet and taxon Kraken is 32. Distances are symmetric, meaning that both the distance between taxon Kraken and taxon Rynoth is 38 and the distance between taxon Rynoth and taxon Kraken is 38.

Using this distance matrix, determine the most appropriate gene tree that accurately reflects the relationships and distances between these taxa.
