Answer: d. choose the tree with the fewest branch points

Explanation:

Parsimony is a phenomena of evolution which involves classifying organisms on the basis of their characteristic under levels. The most parsimonious tree is a tree, which depends upon morphological characters with few evolutionary events. So, while constructing a phylogenetic tree based on parsimony, the tree, which has few evolutionary lineages in terms of both DNA base pairing as well as in the morphology, can be taken into consideration.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

VLD [36.1K]

ATP synthase or Complex V spans the inner mitochondrial membrane. ATP synthase and respiratory chain are biochemically SEPARATE systems and they are linked only by PROTON MOTIVE FORCE. Proton motive force is generated by electron transport.

ATP synthase resembles a ball on a stick which locates in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The answer is FO rotor.

How is the tissue of vertebrates organized
Doss [256]

Tissues refer to a group of similar cells that perform a particular function. In vertebrates, the tissues are orgainzed into four types called the epithelial tissues, muscle tissue, connective tissue and the nervous tissue.

Epithelial tissue refers to the tightly packed group of cells covering the body outside, lining the body cavities and glands. Based on the shape, it is classified into squamous (flat), cuboidal and columnar. It can be single layered (simple)  or stratified (multilayered). It protects the body, helps in the absorption of nutrients and elimination of wastes.

Muscle tissue is made up of the muscle cells that coordinate and bring movement and locomotion. It is made up of muscle fibres and the proteins called the actin and myosin. Muscle tissue is of three types-

(a) Skeletal muscle tissue is a striated tissue which is under the voluntary control.

(b) Smooth muscle tissue found in the walls of the blood vessels, digestive tracts and other parts of the body and are involuntary in nature.

(c) Cardiac tissue is an involuntary, straited tissue found in the walls of the heart.

Connective tissue contain cells present in an extracellular matrix connecting tissues, giving shape to the organs and holding them in place. It can be classified into loose connective tissue found throughout the body, dense connective tissue found in the bones and the ligaments and fluid connective tissue of the blood.

Nevous tissue is the tissue involved in control and coordination of the body. It helps in transmission of messages in the form of nerve impulse with the help of the structural and functional unit of the nervous system called the neurons.
