Answer:

The correct answer is B. the preferred tree is the one that minimizes the amount of evolutionary change.

Explanation:

The principle of maximum parsimony selects the cladogram or phylogenetic tree that explains the phylogeny that has the minimum number of evolutionary changes. It is based on the principle known as Occam's Razor (Occam’s razor) formulated by William Ockham in the 14th century. This principle refers to a type of reasoning based on a very simple premise: other things being equal, the simplest solution is probably the correct one. This is because the simplest solution requires the least number of assumptions and logical operations. The basic premise in Parsimony is that taxa that share a characteristic (similarity) do so because they inherited that characteristic from a common ancestor, homology.

How did the Rf values differ between pigments and solvents?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The Rf values indicate how soluble the particular pigment is in the solvent by how high the pigment moves on the paper.

Explanation:

The Rf values indicate how soluble the particular pigment is in the solvent by how high the pigment moves on the paper. Small Rf values tend to indicate larger, less soluble pigments while the highly soluble pigments have an Rf value near to one.

Enzyme hot spring graphing what enzymes probably came from the digestive tract of the mondoni

AURORKA [14]

I found the full exercise on the internet and it describes that there are three enzymes and you want to know which are the two enzymes from the <span>digestive tract of the mondoni and which one is the enzyme from a hot spring.
Attached are two graphs from the analysis of the activity of these enzymes regarding temperature and pH. I found these graphs with the full exercise.
The enzymes that probably came from the </span>digestive tract of the mondoni were enzymes A and B. These enzymes were resistant two lower levels of pH which indicates that they could be present in a <span>digestive tract, which tends to be acidic, while the enzyme C does not tolerate lower pH levels. Enzymes A and B were also more active when in lower temperatures that match temperatures of a normal living organism, whereas enzyme C was more active in higher temperatures matching its probable provenience - a hot spring.</span>

Viruses have two main structures: a(n) _____ and genetic material.

Evgesh-ka [11]

These viral particles, also known as virions, consist of two or three parts: the genetic material made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information, a protein coat, called the capsid, which surrounds and protects the genetic material. Hope this helped :)
