Which of the following is untrue about the Unweighted Pair Group Method Using Arithmetic Average?


aThe simplest clustering method is UPGMA, which builds a tree by a sequential clustering method


b Given a distance matrix, it starts by grouping two taxa with the largest pairwise distance in the distance matrix


cThe distances between this new composite taxon and all remaining taxa are calculated to create a reduced matrix


dThe grouping process is repeated and another newly reduced matrix is created



Which of the following is untrue about distance based methods?


aThe computed evolutionary distances can be used to construct a matrix of The computed evolutionary distances can be used to construct a matrix of distances between all individual pairs of taxadistances between all individual pairs of taxa


b Clustering is the only method among the algorithms for the distance-based tree-building method


cThe clustering-type algorithms compute a tree based on a distance matrix starting from the most similar sequence pairs


dBased on the pairwise distance scores in the matrix, a phylogenetic tree can be constructed for all the taxa involved



In a heuristic tree search, only a small subset of all possible trees is examined.

When the number of taxa exceeds twenty, even the branch-and-bound method becomes computationally unfeasible.

The branch-and-bound method starts building trees in a similar way as in the exhaustive method.

Which of the following is incorrect statement about branch-and-bound?


aIt uses a shortcut to find an MP tree


bIt establishes an upper limit (or upper bound) for the number of allowed sequence variations


cIt solely uses UPGMA method


dIt starts by building a distance tree for all taxa involved



Which of the following is incorrect statement about Tree-Searching Methods?


aThe choice of the first three taxa can be random


bParsimony method examines all possible tree topologies to find the maximally parsimonious tree


cIt starts by building a three taxa unrooted tree, for which only one topology is available


dThis is different than exhaustive search method



The unweighted method treats all mutations as equivalent.


aTrue


bFalse


ceither true and false


dnone of the mentioned


View Answer True

Because these ancestral character states are not known directly, multiple possible solutions may exist. In this case, the parsimony principle applies to choose the character states that result in a minimum number of substitutions.


aTrue


bFalse


ceither true and false


dnone of the mentioned


View Answer True

Which of the following is incorrect statement about Building Work of MP tree?


aIt works by searching for all possible tree topologies and reconstructing ancestral sequences that require the minimum number of changes to evolve to the current sequences


bOther than informative sites are non-informative, which are constant sites or sites that have changes occurring only once


c Informative sites are the ones that can often be explained by a unique tree topology


dConstant sites have the same state in all taxa and are quite useful in evaluating the various topologies
