Answer:

Parsimony

Explanation:

Parsimony or maximum parsimony is a simple criteria used to score a phylogenetic tree. This method minimizes the chances of homoplasy in an evolutionary tree.

Parsimony mainly based on the principle that the shortest number of character states changes and the total minimum number of character state changes is preferred in the evolutionary tree.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

• 11. Thinking about trophic levels, the type of energy we use from a natural resource comes through a transfer of what, which c
Ber [7]

Answer:

Solar energy    

Explanation:

There are different kinds of energy, and one of them is radiation. By concept, radiation refers to the emission, propagation, and transference of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles.  Living beings depend on solar energy from their origins.  

Throughout the trophic web, there exists a process of energy transference through the different trophic levels, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one. Producers take solar energy and transform it into chemical energy, which is the one from one level to the other.  

<u>Energy flow</u>: From the whole quantity of solar energy that reaches the earth's surface, only 0.1 or 1% is absorbed by autotroph organisms or producers.    

From this input of solar energy, it begins a unidirectional energy flow through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is finally dissipated in the environment.  

At each trophic level, it occurs an energy transfer from one level to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule". This is, as a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time.

The progressive reduction of energy determines the number of trophic levels (4 or 5).

ddd [48]
I believe that a diet high in fat and meat is linked to high rates of colon and prostrate cancer. Cancer is the abnormal and uncontrolled cellular proliferation. Prostrate cancer is the common cause of cancer in men and may be detected by rectal examination, PSA blood test, ultrasound, and biopsy. Colon cancer is the cancer of the large intestines which is the last part of the Gastrointestinal tract.
