Analysis

Our trees did not agree, but we trust the one based on protein sequences more. Because each type of pollen was pretty much different, we had to base our tree on just knowing which plants were monocots or dicots. Since our Rose of Sharon and Iris were more closely related in the protein tree, maybe evolutionarily monocots and dicots didn't split into two species. This is just a hypothesis though, and would take a lot more research to understand. However, the protein tree could be wrong, we would just need more time to figure it out.
