Want to know:
The figure shown is a phylogeny created with DNA sequence data and has high bootstrap support values. The tree also includes observed phenotypes (in varying shades of gray) for the five taxa. The character states are indicated by "B" or "b", "G" or "g", and "P" and "p". Evaluate the hypothetical phylogenetic tree using a parsimony approach. For which of the following taxa were there the fewest state changes if the inferred ancestral state was "bGP"?

- If mutation acquisition was a random process and present before the presence of any selection pressure, then there would be high variation among survivability of bacterial plates. If not, the variance would be low since acquired mutation hypothesis would state that any organism could mutate to deter a stressor. The variance was extremely high in the experiment
