Which is a pair of opposing forces that act on water as it goes down through the soil?

Biology

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, capillary action and gravity.

Explanation:

Capillary action plays an essential role in moving the water around. It is illustrated as the movement of water inside the spaces of a porous substance because of the forces of cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension.  

Capillary action takes place as water is sticky, and due to the forces of cohesion and adhesion, the molecules of water are fascinated towards each other and stick to other components. Capillary action takes place when the adhesion to the walls is robust in comparison to the cohesive forces between the molecules of the liquid. However, capillary action is restricted by the forces that work against it, that is, surface tension and gravity.

Answer:

C. Capillary action and gravity

Explanation:

Capillary action lets water "stick" to the walls of the soil,  and gravity pulls it down, therfore opposing its force

How could the notion of maximum parsimony lead to an error in establishing an evolutionary relationship
Grace [21]

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.
