Question

In constructing trees (select all that apply):

All alternative approaches are the same and can be used in every circumstance.

The Neighbor Joining method starts with the points with the greatest distance between them to create a rooted tree.

One can use Maximum Likelihood methods which create the tree using a model of the substitution process that finds the tree with the greatest likelihood of producing the observed data set.

The Unweighted Pair Group Method using Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) progressively joins points (or sets of points) that have the smallest pairwise distance.
