Analysis of Phylogenetic Trees

Our trees differ from one another. Our hypothesis was that the Winter Pansy, an annual flower, would have different pollen/shape than the perennial flowers. However, the trees we made showed that the Winter Pansy was more related to the perennials than they were to each other. The tree we made is based solely on appearance, where as the protein sequence tree is based on the amino acids of the rubisco protein inside the flowers. The uniprot tree shows that the Winter Pansy is less closely related to the perennials, which stem from a similar ancestor. So our hypothesis was almost correct. The Winter Pansy differs on a genetic level but not on appeareance level.
