On the next page, draw a quick sketch of the tree.Does there appear to be a relationship between the patient and victim sequences? Do they appear to diverge from a common ancestor?What conclusion can you draw from this tree?Given the circumstantial evidence and the phylogenetic evidence, what do you think the verdict was in this case?
