Analysis of Data

Our hypothesis was not correct. We had hypothesized that the two wind-pollinated plants would be the most closely related plants but after taking pictures on many microscopes and studying the ancestors of all three plants, it turned out the angiosperm insect pollinated rose and the gymnosperm wind pollinated larch were the most closely related, opposed to the larch and the millet, which were both wind-pollinated like we had predicted. The larch and the rose had a common ancestor that the millet was not connected to, making it seem that at least in terms of these three plants, the way in which they are pollinated does not affect how closely related they are.
