Answer:

to decipher accurate phylogenies

Explanation:

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

"the most possible evolutionary history is the one with the easiest one".

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

Solve the equation of mava=mbvb max5.0ml=5.2mlx0.10m

maxonik [38]

Answer:

0.104M

Explanation:

The following equation is given in this question:

mava=mbvb

Where;

ma = molarity of acid (M)

mb = molarity of base (M)

va = volume of acid (ml)

vb = volume of base (ml)

According to this inputted values;

max5.0ml=5.2mlx0.10m

ma = unknown molarity of acid

mb = 0.10M

va = 5.0ml

vb = 5.2ml

Hence, ma x 5.0ml = 5.2ml x 0.10m

5ma = 0.52

ma = 0.52 ÷ 5

ma = 0.104M
