Which of following is not a distance-based phylogenetic algorithm?
EXPLANATION
Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood, Bayesi
- Distance-Based vs. Character-Based Phylogenetic Methods:
- Distance-Based Methods: Convert sequence alignments into pairwise genetic distance matrices:
- Neighbor Joining (NJ)
- Minimum Evolution (ME)
- Fitch-Margoliash (FM)
- UPGMA
- Character-Based (Discrete) Methods: Analyze discrete nucleotide/amino acid characters directly across alignment columns:
- Maximum Likelihood (ML)
- Maximum Parsimony (MP)
- Bayesian Inference
- Conclusion: Maximum Likelihood is NOT a distance-based algorithm (Option 4).
Correct option: (4) Maximum Likelihood
