b) to demonstrate likely homoplasies

c) to see if the lily is a cryptic orchid species

The answer is D- To serve as an Outgroup

A phylogenetic tree is also called an evolutionary tree and it shows the evolutionary relationships that exists among organisms called taxa based on their physical or genetic similarities and differences. The Phylogenetic tree consists of ingroup and outgroup. The ingroup consists of a group of closely related organisms or taxon while the outgroup represents a more distantly related group of organisms or taxon but as close as possible to the  ingroup.

The Lily represents the outgroup in the phylogenetic tree while the Orchid are the ingroup. This is because the Lily is distantly related to the orchid.

Why was luther deemed more of a threat to the church than the dissenting theologians that preceded him in challenging church bel
jok3333 [9.3K]

Luther challenged the church and the pope in his 95 theses he disagreed with indulgences and the capitalist like mind that the church was taking on. He believed that the sale and preaching of indulgences to buy one’s way out of Purgatory was wrong. People should be doing good works out of the goodness In their heart, not because they have to. He believed that if the Pope was truly supposed to be God’s representative on earth, then he shouldn’t be concerned with the state and other governmental issues. The church and Pope should be concerned with only heavenly salvation not early material possessions such as money and competing architecture. Luther was a major threat to the church and has many tries like the diet of worms and the Papal’s Bull of excommunication. The theologians that preceded Luther were in agreeance with Luther, but like Luther they faces excommunication as well. At the time Excommunication meant outlaw and therefore no protection form death, or worse holy salvation.
