Question (select most suitable option)

  Which of the following is untrue about the Unweighted Pair Group Method Using Arithmetic Average?
The simplest clustering method is UPGMA, which builds a tree by a sequential clustering method
Given a distance matrix, it starts by grouping two taxa with the largest pairwise distance in the distance matrix
The distances between this new composite taxon and all remaining taxa are calculated to create a reduced matrix
The grouping process is repeated and another newly reduced matrix is created
