Which of the following statements best describes the rationale for applying the principle of maximum parsimony in constructing phylogenetic trees?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. Parsimony allows the researcher to "root" the tree.
  2. Similarity due to common ancestry should be more common than similarity due to convergent evolution.
  3. The molecular clock validates the principle of parsimony.
  4. The outgroup roots the tree, allowing the principle of parsimony to be applied.

Allosteric regulation of enzyme multisubunit or multiactive site shows cooperativity with the sigmoidal graph between substerate conc. v/s Activity,


a) Cell contain NADH, FADH2 and ATP, that inhibits the allosteric enzyme activity by lowering the affinity with its substate, graph shifts towards B from control

 b) A- shows low ATP, the Km for fructose 6-phosphate is relatively low, the affinity of the enzyme with its substate is relatively high

 c) Haemoglobin, Phosphofructokinase, Phosphate dehydrogenase complex, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, these all enzymes shows characteristics of sigmoidal graph

 d) When ATP is high, Km for fructose 6-phosphate is greatly increased- this activity shown by B in the graph

 e) fructose 2,6-bisphosphate binds to its allosteric site on PFK-1, it increases the enzyme’s affinity for its substrate fructose 6-phosphate and reduces its affinity for the allosteric inhibitors ATP and citrate- shown in graph by A

 Which of the following  combination of the enzyme activity with its substate correctly shown;
