Answer:

The notion of maximum parsimony does not consider the entire evolutionary history, being able to suppress important evolutionary points that would cause errors in the evolutionary relationship of a species.

Explanation:

Maximum parsimony is a criterion for optimizing phylogenetic trees. This is because through this criterion an analysis is made of all possible phylogenetic trees of a species, observing which one is smaller and offers simpler and summary information. On the one hand, the study of the smallest phylogenetic tree can be faster and more understandable, since its information is basic and direct. However, maximum parsimony can lead to errors in the establishment of an evolutionary relationship of a species, because it suppresses the entire history of evolution of that species, being able to suppress really important points in one of the clades, which would result in an incorrect evolutionary conclusion.

Identify the parts of the female and male reproductive system and their functions.

Lena [83]

Female:

*Ovaries - release of oocytes (eggs), estrogen and progesterone.

*Oviducts (fallopian tubes) - where fertilization of the oocyte occurs to form a zygote.

*Uterus - where the zygote develops

*Cervix and vagina - allow for the entry of sperm for fertilization

Male:

*Testes - Releases testosterone and sperm

*Vas deferens - Passageway for sperm

*Epididymis - allows the sperm to pass from the testes and vas deferens and equips them with semen so they can survive internal fertilization

*Penis - releases sperm into the external environment for fertilization to occur

Answer:

I believe D would be the answer

Explanation:

As in the first part the pseudo podium is engulfing the particle which is more similar to taking food and the next part in the phagosome the particle is engulfed and further the enzymes would be released which would digest the particle hence similar to digestion

How does a food chain model energy flow ?

coldgirl [10]

Food chains model energy flow through an ecosystem. Producers pump energy into an ecosystem from an environmental source, and this energy is then passed from one organism to the next.

Why do rats have three lobes of liver and humans only have one?

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Although the rat liver is typically lobated2 and its ap- pearance does not resemble that of the human liver, the hepatic lobes of the rat liver have been found to be equivalent to the sectors of the human liver. As rats and humans belong to the class Mammalia, similar em- bryological development is expected.
