uhEvol bio Quiz 2

Question 1

it is defined as a a diagrammatic representation of evolutionary relationships among living organisms.

Answer 1

Phylogenetic Tree

Question 2

This method is based directly on the sequence characters, therefore it is also called the discrete method.

Answer 2

Character-Based method

Question 3

What are two different methods based on which the phylogenetic tree is constructed.

Answer 3

Character-based method and Distant Method

Question 4

This method is based on the amount of the distance or the dissimilarity between the two aligned sequences.
