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.

Hydrogen bonds play an important role in stabilizing and organizing biological macromolecules. Consider the four macromolecules discussed. Describe three examples where hydrogen bond formation affects the form or function of the macromolecule.
Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).
Field Notes: Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park (Grundy County, TN).
Laboratory Analysis:
Body: Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome.
Size: 63 cm
Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44.
Lignin test: Positive
Cuticle: Present
Leaves: Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores).
Roots: Present—branch from the inside.
Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present.
Life History: Diploid sporophyte dominant generation. Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte. Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced. Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte.
