If your professor desires you to make a phylogenetic tree of orchids and she provides you tissue from seven orchid species and one lily, then the most likely reason why she gave you the lily is for it to serve as an outgroup.

To add, in cladistics or phylogenetics<span>, an outgroup is a group of organisms that serve as a reference group when determining the </span>evolutionary<span> relationship among three or more monophyletic groups of organisms. The set of organisms under study that precisely allows the phylogeny to be rooted is called the outgroup and it is used a comparison point for the ingroup.</span>

Almost 50 percent of water withdrawn in the US, is used up by thermoelectric power plants. The table below shows the amount of w
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The number of thermal power plants increased between 1950 and 1975.

Explanation:

Here, the table that shows the amount of water withdrawn in billion gallons per year, between 1950 and 2005,

Year              1950            1965            1975            1990           2005

Amount         180              340             420               410              410

Since, 420 > 180,

Also, 50 percent of water withdrawn is used up by thermometric power plants.

Thus, thermal power plants in 1975 > thermal power plant in 1950

Therefore, the number of thermal power plants increased between 1950 and 1975.

Second option is correct.

Note : first option is incorrect.

Since, by the above table,

The least amount of water used by power plant is 180 billion gallons per year,

Thus, third option is incorrect,

Now, the table does not represents energy produced,

Fourth option can not be said correct.
