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).

Outline the process of the Carbon Cycle.
Bond [772]

Answer:

Carbon Cycle Definition

Carbon cycle is the process where carbon compounds are interchanged among the biosphere, geosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the earth.

Carbon Cycle Steps

Following are the major steps involved in the process of the carbon cycle:

Carbon present in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants for photosynthesis.

These plants are then consumed by animals and carbon gets bioaccumulated into their bodies.

These animals and plants eventually die, and upon decomposing, carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Some of the carbon that is not released back into the atmosphere eventually become fossil fuels.

These fossil fuels are then used for man-made activities, which pumps more carbon back into the atmosphere.

Hope it helps!!!

Which best explains the evolution of gymnosperm plants?
grin007 [14]
The answer to this question about the evolution of the gymnosperm plants would be C. They evolved after the seedless vascular plants.

Gymnosperms, or sometimes termed as seed plants, are classified as vascular plants and has been thriving for centuries on earth through producing seeds. They are multicotyledonous and are the opposite of flowering plants. Conifers would be the most abundant group of gymnosperms while the cycads come in second. Gingko would place last with just having one species under its name.
