Explanation:
info gathered b4 and after an experiment is used to confirm or disprove a hypothesis ( educated guess).
I believe that the basic unit of structure and function in protists and monerans is the cell. This is because cells are basic unit of structure and function of all living things. A cell is the smallest unit of life, it is the basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed.
Maximum Thrift is a method / philosophy that considers the shortest tree (in number of transformation steps) the best hypothesis about the phylogenetic relationship of a given set of terminals. Transformation step is the cost attributed to the change of character state in a given branch of the tree, be it the change from one nucleotide base to another, amino acids, or the color of an animal's iris. The fewer transformations, the shorter the tree, and therefore the more parsimonious. In this method, what programs do is to investigate as many alternative topologies as possible (or all if their array has less than 25 terminals; see more details below) given their character array. Each will be measured, and the shorter (optimal) trees will be retained as the most parsimonious result.
