Answer:

Apply the principle of parsimony

Explanation:

A cladogram is used to show or illustrate hypothetical speciation and relationships between species. They are commonly used to classify animals.

The principle of parsimony argues that the simplest of competing explanations is most likely to be correct.  

In order to construct a cladogram that best reflects the evolutionary relationship of a group of species. Application of the principle of parsimony  will help in deciding which tree is most likely to have occurred based on the fewest character state changes.

Earth's surface wind generally blow from regions of higher AIR PRESSURE TOWARDS REGION OF LOWER AIR PRESSURE.
The direction in which the wind blow on the earth surface is a product of many factors, the most important of these factors are: pressure, friction and Coriolis effects. On the earth surface, the wind normally blow from high to low pressure.

Mumz [18]
When crossing alleles for color, you get
25% pp
50% Pp
25% PP
White flowers are recessive, so there is a 1/4 chance

And when crossing alleles for shape you get
25% rr
50% Rr
25% RR
Wrinkled seeds are recessive so there is a 1/4 chance


Since you are looking for white flowers AND wrinkled seeds, you need to multiply 1/4 x 1/4, giving you a 1/16 chance that the offspring will have these two traits

How many chromosomes, and which chromosomes, does each of the dughter cells contain
labwork [276]

The question is incomplete. However, if we consider this cell as human cell - the cell contain 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Answer:

Chromosomes consists of the constricted DNA associated with the proteins. Different species has different chromosome number. Two main types of chromosomes are heterochromatin and euchromatin.

The human cells contain the 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosome. If the cell divides by the process of mitosis than the chromosome number will be same in parent as well as the daughter cell. The daughter cell 23 pairs of chromosomes. If the cell divides by the process of mitosis the cell has 23 chromosome number as the meiosis reduces the chromosome number upto half.
