Question
Chapter 23, Problem 1IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The limited number of character states and high rates of evolutionary change can cause problems for parsimony analyses.
Introduction: The smallest assumptions or change in characters in a state is known parsimony. Parsinomony analysis is complete opposite of homoplasy as it involves multiple characters into count. The homoplasy leads to the increase of relatedness between unrelated species.
