Describe maximum parsimony.

Biology
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago
7 0

Maximum Thrift is a method / philosophy that considers the shortest tree (in number of transformation steps) the best hypothesis about the phylogenetic relationship of a given set of terminals. Transformation step is the cost attributed to the change of character state in a given branch of the tree, be it the change from one nucleotide base to another, amino acids, or the color of an animal's iris. The fewer transformations, the shorter the tree, and therefore the more parsimonious.  In this method, what programs do is to investigate as many alternative topologies as possible (or all if their array has less than 25 terminals; see more details below) given their character array. Each will be measured, and the shorter (optimal) trees will be retained as the most parsimonious result.

When tissues are subjected to chemical or physical trauma or invasion by pathogenic microorganisms, what can occur?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Inflammation

Explanation:

Inflammation is an immune response produced in the body in response to the damage or trauma caused by physical or chemical factors.

The injured tissue can allow the entry of the microorganism in the body which could cause disease therefore the immune response gets activated to eliminate the pathogen.

The inflammation is marked by the swelling and redness in the injured portion due to the increased flow of blood carrying the White blood cells in that area. The immune cells interact with the pathogen and kill the pathogen.

Thus, Inflammation is the correct answer.

Select the three statements that are true. To review the germ layers and the terminology associated with body cavities, see the
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

A diploblast has no mesoderm.  

A pseudocoelom has the same functions as a true coelom.  In a coelomate, the tissue lining the inner side of the body cavity arises from the same germ layer as the tissue lining the outer side of the body cavity.

Explanation:

Diploblast organisms are the ones that have only two primary germ layers. These organisms have outer ectoderm and inner endoderm but no mesoderm. Example: Cnidarians

A true coelom is derived from mesoderm and is completely lined with tissue derived from mesoderm. The outer and inner linings of the coelom are made of muscle layers that are developed from the mesoderm.  

A pseudocoelom is the one that is incompletely lined with mesoderm. Both pseudocoelom and a true coelom serve as shock absorber and provide space wherein the internal organs can be placed. The fluid present in them sere as medium for transport of nutrients, gases, etc.
