There are two ways of working out the phylogeny (family tree) of living animals. One is by analyzing their genes; the other is to analyze the extent to which they are similar in form. In either case. the results can then be integrated with the fossil record. In principle, the two approaches should be complementary. Both should lead to a consistent account of how snake and lizard families descended from a single stem. More or less a greater number of shared traits would mean they recently diverged from a common ancestor.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

D. Sistema reproductor.

Explanation:

La excreción es el proceso de eliminar los desechos y el exceso de agua del cuerpo. Estos desechos pueden ser dañinos y pueden causar daños.

Los órganos responsables de la excreción son el riñón, los pulmones, la piel, el hígado y el intestino grueso.

La piel elimina el sudor, el exceso de agua y las sales a través de las glándulas sudoríparas.

El sistema urinario está formado por riñón, uréteres, vejiga y uretra. El riñón elimina el exceso de agua y sal al producir orina que luego se transporta con la ayuda de los uréteres, la vejiga y la uretra.

En el sistema respiratorio, los pulmones excretan sustancias gaseosas, como dióxido de carbono y agua.
