4 0

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.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Directional selection tends to evolve towards one specific trait. In this example, white rabbits no longer have a competitive advantage because of disappearing snow. This means they are more easily spotted by predators, resulting in reduced fitness and less chance they will live to reproductive age and pass their recessive white alleles on.

Natural selection will favor the gray colour allele, increasing the frequency oft this previously rare allele.

1)Most of the food we eat can be influenced by whom?<br><br> 2)Food choices come from what?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

1) Hunger, savor, appetite. Three main biological reasons why we eat. Also, the economic ability to pay for the food. And the fisical capability to go and buy food, to cook.

2) Our physiological needs are the main reason why we choose food. People need energy to survive.

Everyone would like to have the possibility to eat what he wants. But food choices depend on the financial situation, social class, and preferences.

That is why poor people or people who have less money to spend on food, often eat food that can feed more people but it doesn’t have nutritional values. When people have money, they immediately have a wider spectrum of groceries that can choose from.

Explanation:

Savour is equal to enjoying. When people are not hungry they are happier. We choose what to eat depending on the look, taste, smell, texture. As sweets smell good, people consider them the most attractive food. Food is not just the source of nutrition, it is also the source of satisfaction.
