Statement Based +4 −1

Given below are two statements regarding the number of possible rooted or unrooted trees for a given number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs):

Statement (I) : For two OTUs, only two trees are possible.

Statement (II) : For three or more than three OTUs, the number of possible rooted trees is always less than the number of possible unrooted trees.

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Both Statement (|) and Statement (II) are true. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false. Statement (I) is false but Statement ({I) is true.

Assertion & Reason +4 −1

Given below are two statements regarding the neighbor joining method of tree construction, one is labelled as

Assertion (A) : and other one labelled as Reason (R)
