According to the excerpt from Las Casas, the Spanish treated American Indians in the Caribbean harshly by:
C.
They enslaved both men and women and let most die from overwork and starvation.
Answer:
environment, convergent evolution
Explanation:
When two species with no immediate common ancestors are exposed to same kind of environment they might develop body parts which have similar functions leading to convergent evolution. The resultant body parts are known as analogous structures. Here, both Patagonian hares and England rabbits were exposed to similar environment so even though their body structures had different origin, they developed to be similar in function. They are in contrast to homologous structures which develop due to divergent evolution where the origin of the structure is same but they diverge due to different functions.

In February of this year, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in the United Kingdom approved a request by the Francis Crick Institute in London to modify human embryos using the new gene editing technique CRISPR-Cas9. This is the second time human embryos have been employed in such research, and the first time their use has been sanctioned by a national regulatory authority. The scientists at the Institute hope to cast light on early embryo development—work which may eventually lead to safer and more successful fertility treatments.
The embryos, provided by patients undergoing in vitro fertilization, will not be allowed to develop beyond seven days. But in theory—and eventually in practice—CRISPR could be used to modify disease-causing genes in embryos brought to term, removing the faulty script from the genetic code of that person’s future descendants as well. Proponents of such “human germline editing” argue that it could potentially decrease, or even eliminate, the incidence of many serious genetic diseases, reducing human suffering worldwide. Opponents say that modifying human embryos is dangerous and unnatural, and does not take into account the consent of future generations.
Answer:
