You are studying the source of a new virus that has recently infected humans. You suspect that the virus was transferred from other primates (they exhibit a similar infection), specifically, chimpanzees, gorillas, or orangutans. You sample blood from several infected humans and sequence some viral genes. You then build a phylogenetic tree with the human sequences and all the known strains from each primate. Draw a hypothetical phylogenetic tree that would suggest that the virus came from gorillas and that this transfer occurred twice independently. Label chimpanzee sequences (c), gorilla (g), orangutans (o), and humans (h).

The hypothetical phylogenetic tree would show two separate clusters of human sequences, each closely related to gorilla sequences. The first cluster would be labeled with gorilla (g) and human (h) sequences, indicating the first transfer event from gorillas to humans. The second cluster would also be labeled with gorilla (g) and human (h) sequences, indicating a second independent transfer event from gorillas to humans. The chimpanzee (c) and orangutan (o) sequences would be more distantly related to the human sequences, suggesting that the virus did not come from these primates. This phylogenetic tree would support the hypothesis that the virus came from gorillas and that there were two separate transfer events from gorillas to humans.
