Proposes that the shortest number of steps or character state changes is most likely correct. a. parsimony b. evolutionary systematics c. phenetics d. none of the above

Parsimony

Explanation:

Parsimony or maximum parsimony is a simple criteria used to score a phylogenetic tree. This method minimizes the chances of homoplasy in an evolutionary tree.

Parsimony mainly based on the principle that the shortest number of character states changes and the total minimum number of character state changes is preferred in the evolutionary tree.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

c

explanation:

the cells uses some of the atoms of the glucose molecules to atp molecules. the atoms of the glucose molecules will then be converted into energy which will be eventually stored in atp. the energy produced which are stored in atp are coming from the glucose’s chemical bonds.
