Answer: Both share common ancestry

Explanation:

Though both cats are of different groups, the presence of an ananatomical similarity - short, stubby tails - suggest strongly that they share a common ancestry i.e evolved from the same organism who had lived many years before, and possess short, stubby tails alongside other traits no longer shared by both bobcat and Manx cat

Which is used as evidence for the idea that multicellular organisms evolved from prokaryotes
anzhelika [568]

Living things has emerged into three domains called Archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Evident that support the idea that multi cellular that is eukaryotic cell evolved from the prokaryotic cell are the descendents of the separate prokaryotic cells that together form a union which are inter dependent.

For example: The mitochondria which is referred to the energy source of the cell is considered as the great-great-great-granddaughter of a bacterium cell which is free living. This free living bacterium bacterial cell was consumed by an other cell and this remained as the stable guest in the cell. This mitochondria provided chemical energy to the cell and also protected the nutrient rich environment.  which surrounds it. This process of one organism residing in the other organism completely is called endosymbiosis.

Is Water Wet? If So, What makes it wet, if not what makes it dry?
Monica [59]

Answer:

Water is a liquid. Water is not wet BECAUSE something is only wet when water is on that object.

Explanation:

For example, there is water is a glass cup, and then the glass cup spills onto the table, causing the table to be wet, BUT you can remove that water from the table with some paper towels or a rag. Therefore, the table is no longer wet. Or when you're out in the rain and it gets on your clothes and/or hair, then your clothes and/or hair is WET.

When you put water onto water, it's an addition of water, you don't say it's wet or wetter.

Now, let me further prove my point with a different element: Fire. Fire burns things, right? So, when fire is on an object, then that object is burned. And when you add fire to fire, it causes more fire; fire does not burn itself.

Therefore, water is NOT wet. Wet is an adjective to describe an object that has been touched by a liquid, in this case, water.

So, yeah, enjoy the rest of your day. I'm sure some would like to argue my point. Go ahead.
