Answer:

to decipher accurate phylogenies

Explanation:

The principle or criteria of using maximum parsimony in evolution genetics is use because of the next premise:

In other words, the more complicated a predicted phylogenetic tree is, the fewer the possibility that it describes an evolution process correctly, statistially speaking.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a scientific investigation, a DEPENDENT VARIABLE (also known as outcome variable) is the variable that is being measured. The dependent variable, as the name implies, responds to the changes made to the independent variable.

For example, in an experiment where the effects of different concentration of fertilizer is used to test plant growth (height), the HEIGHT OF THE PLANTS is the dependent variable because it is the variable being measured.
