Sean Kosowsky 10/14/10 Mrs. Crowning AP BIO Platapu-what? Objective: The objective of this lab is to construct a general phylogenetic tree for the evolutionary history of a platypus. By using the NCBI we will learn how closely related certain species are to the platypus. We will use this information to find the platypus? likely ancestors. This evolutionary history will help show why the platypus evolved to be the way that it is. Hypothesis: I think that the platypus has a very varied evolutionary history. It could have come from any of several ancestors. There are several distinct characteristics that must be considered before you can make a conclusion about the evolutionary history of the platypus: The platypus is one of five living species of monotremes.
