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.
Answer:
B) ecological succession
Explanation:
The analogy given in this question describes ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION, which is the series of changes that an ecosystem undergoes over a period of time. Ecological succession is of two types viz: Primary succession and Secondary succession.
Primary succession involves the series of changes that occurs on a new habitat that has never been previously colonized. This is the case of the colonization of bare rocks with no plant life by LICHENS. The action of the lichen, which involves secretion of acids that disintegrates the rocks into soil, paves way for the colonization of that area by new species.
Lichens, via the role they play in primary succession by helping alter a barren area into a fertile one that accommodates other organisms, makes them be regarded as PIONEERS of primary succession.
