a. parsimony; simplest; fewest

When selecting among multiple possible phylogenetic trees that fit our data, we commonly use the principle of <u>parsimony</u>, which means we choose the <u>simplest</u> possible hypothesis. In phylogenetic analysis, that means selecting the tree that represents the <u>fewest</u> evolutionary changes or mutations.

Explanation:

Phylogeny describes the evolutionary history of on organism or group of organisms.  

A phylogenetic tree structure is used to describe the relationship between various organisms which have originated from common ancestors.  

The Principle of Parsimony is best applied while constructing phylogenetic tree.  

This principle emphasizes on simple observations on a phylogeny which requires only few changes or variations which explain for the difference between the phylogenic sequences.  

This tree structure will only have few specific genetic variations or mutations or evolutionary changes which took place through new appearance of a trait or disappearance of an existing trait.

Is it Possible for 2 yellow bellied noombats to have a green bellied child? Identify the genotypes of the parents and complete t
madreJ [45]
We need to know the dominant and recessive traits of the noombats in order to answer this question. If both of them has yellow as the dominant trait, then green may be recessive. In that case there is a chance for them to have a green bellied child. Its impossible to tell the percentage though because we don't know enough about the animals.

Name the four things that can happen to move carbon from a plant and return it to the atmosphere
kvv77 [185]

1. Respiration-process by which plants release CO, while they break down the sugar

2. Animals eat plants- They break down sugars and starches by a process of metabolism and the products are energy water, and CO2 molecules.

3. Decomposition-when plants die, their parts (wood, leaves) decay bringing the carbon into the ground

4. Root respiration- respiration that occurs in roots, adds to soil respiration (the amount of CO2 produced through root respiration is determined by the root biomass ).

In an asexual species, a beneficial allele and a deleterious allele are in linkage disequilibrium. The selection pressure for th
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

selective interference

 

Explanation:

Natural selection acts on genes that are inherited together, which is the case for species of asexual reproduction (where genes are inherited together by clonal offspring).  In asexual species, linkage disequilibrium (i.e., non-random association of the alleles of different <em>loci</em>), can be understood in a similar mode in terms of population allele frequencies. Selective interference underlies the association between beneficial mutations and surrounding sites which are subject to deleterious mutations. It has been shown that asexual species adapt at a slower rate than species of sexual reproduction. In sexual species, selective interference could be bypassed through the mechanism of recombination during meiosis (although there is not conclusive evidence of this). In asexual species, different deleterious and beneficial mutations are generally fixed, whereas beneficial mutations are generally spread and fixed in species of sexual reproduction.
