According to the principle of maximum parsimony,
A. phylogenies based in DNA require the most base changes.
B. the preferred tree is the one that minimizes the amount of evolutionary change.
C. a large number of trees should be examined.
D. in the case of trees based on morphology, a parsimonious tree requires the most changes.

Answers

Answer 1

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.

The density of a white dwarf is

Answers

Answer:

The density of a white dwarf is 1 x 109 kg/m3.

Explanation:

A typical white dwarf is half as massive as the Sun, yet only slightly bigger than Earth. An Earth-sized white dwarf has a density of 1 x 109 kg/m3. Earth itself has an average density of only 5.4 x 103 kg/m3. That means a white dwarf is 200,000 times as dense.

1 x 10⁹ kg/m³ is the density of white dwarf. It is 200000 times denser than Earth. And it is the second densest object we know after neutron star.

Which product forms from the reaction between nitrogen (N)
(CI)?
A. NCI
B. NCI
C. N2CI
O D. N2C1

Answers

Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

Because as N has the valence of 3 when it reacts with Cl of 1 as valence they will form NCl3

Answer:

The product of the reaction between nitrogen (N) and (CL) is nitrogen trichloride (NCl3)

Explanation:

Although by seeing the question's answer choices, I think it was an error to detect the question (image) by Brainly as 2 of the answers is written the same.

However, when nitrogen gas reacts with chlorine gas, the product is gaseous nitrogen trichloride (NCL3), I guess 1 of your answer must be NCL3.

When the stimulus voltage is increased, _______. sodium permeability into the cell decreases sodium permeability into the cell increases to overcome the potassium exiting a greater-than-threshold depolarization results a greater-than-threshold depolarization results and sodium permeability into the cell increases to overcome the potassium exiting.

Answers

Answer:

a greater-than-threshold depolarization results and sodium permeability into the cell increases to overcome the potassium exiting.

Explanation:

The occurrence of action potential requires the existence of active voltage-dependent channels to open and close in response to the membrane depolarization.  

When depolarization reaches and supers the threshold point, voltage-dependent Na+ channels open and the ion gets into the cell. The entrance of Na+ decreases the electric charge difference between the cellular interior and exterior. Membrane depolarizes and produces the action potential that tends to reach a potential equilibrium for Na+ = +60mV. The higher the Na+ input is, the greater is the depolarization and the greater is the Na+ permeability.

Once Na+ channels are closed, voltage-dependent K+ channels open, increasing the membrane permeability to the ion, letting K+ get out of the cell, following the electrochemical gradient.  

The closure of Na+ channels and opening of K+ channels are responsible for membrane repolarization.

1) What is the control group? 2) What is the experimental group? 3) What is the independent (manipulated) variable? 4) What is the dependent (responding) variable? 5) What should Tina's conclusion be?

Answers

Complete question:

Tina asks the question “Does caffeine increase the heart rate of an earthworm?” In Test 1, she measures the heart rate by looking at the earthworm under a microscopes, the earthworm has a heart rate of 50 bpm (beats per minute). In Test 2, she places a few drops of caffeine on the earthworm’s skin and measures the rate again. In this test, the heart rate is 68 bpm.

1) What is the control group?

2) What is the experimental group?

3) What is the independent (manipulated) variable?

4) What is the dependent (responding) variable?

5) What should Tina's conclusion be?

Answer:

Individuals from test 1Individuals from test 2CaffeineHeart rateTina´s hypothesis is correct. Caffeine increases the heart rate of an earthworm.  

Explanation:

During an experiment, data from an experimental group is compared with the data from a control group. Both groups are selected from the same pool or population, so they are identical in all aspects except for the independent variables.  

The control group is used to identify any other factors influencing the results obtained in the study, apart from the modified variables of the treatment.

The experimental group is the one affected by the experimental procedure or treatment. The researcher voluntarily changes the independent variables in the experimental group to observe how they affect the group under study. These variables are kept constant in the control group, not influencing the results, while the experimental group receives the treatment. There can be several experimental groups.  

Independent (manipulated) variable: Refers to all the variables in an experiment that provoke a response in another variable. An independent variable is the one that changes or is controlled and modified in the experiment to analyze how another variable responds to it. It changes to analyze its effects on the dependent variable. Usually, the independent variable is represented by the X letter.   Dependent variable: Refers to the variable, which response depends on any change in the independent variable. It represents a quantity of something which value depends on how the independent variable is modified. The change in the dependent variable might be proportional or inversely proportional to the change in the manipulated variable. It is usually represented using the letter Y.  Controlled variable: Refers to the variables that have no influence on the results. These variables do not affect the change in the dependent variable values.  

1) What is the control group?

Individuals from test 1 compose the control group. They are not affected by the treatment. Tina just uses them to measure the normal heart rate and to compare them with individuals from test 2.

2) What is the experimental group?

Individuals from Test 2 compose the experimental group. They are affected by the treatment. Tina drops caffeine on their skin to see how it affects the worms.

3) What is the independent (manipulated) variable?

Caffeine is the independent variable. Tina manipulates the number of drops she places on the worm´s skins.

4) What is the dependent (responding) variable?

Heart rate is the dependent variable. Tina evaluates how the heart rate changes in individuals with or without caffeine.

5) What should Tina's conclusion be?

Caffeine increases the heart rate of an earthworm. It changes from 50 to 68 bpm. Tina´s hypothesis is correct.

The reason that the mail bed appears pink is the presence of a larger number of melanocytes in the underlying dermis

Answers

Complete question:

True or False: The reason that the nail bed appears pink is the presence of a larger number of melanocytes in the underlying dermis.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Nails are composed of the lamina, which is a smooth, shiny, translucent, and keratinized structure. The nails are born the nail matrix. The newly formed nail slice along the mail bed, which is the plane surface under the nails.  

The nail bed places under the nail and is composed of a thin epithelium, with no granulous stratum, and a few layers of parakeratotic cells attached to the nail.  

The nail matrix and nail bed have melanocytes. Half of the melanocytes of the matrix produce melanin, while melanocytes of the nail bed are inactive.  

The nail bed is laying over many small vessels that nourish it and provides a pink color to the nails.

An object is placed at 0 on a number line. It moves 3 units to the right, then 4 units to the left, and then 6 units to the right. What is the displacement of the object?

Answers

Answer:

5

Explanation:

Distance is how far something goes and Displacement is how far it is from 0 or from the starting point. Additionally, displacement is a vector so it has a direction, in this case, left or right. To make this shorter let's just find displacement. So you're at 0 and you go 3 units to the right and so you're at positive 3 on the line. Next, you move 4 units to the left so now you're at -1. Finally, you move 6 units to the right and now you're at postive 5. Now you're +5 units away from 0 and so +5 is your displacement (5 units to the right is also correct)

Answer: +5 units or 5 units to the right (as long as it has a sign or a direction it's correct)

5
+5 units or 5 units to the right
