The answer would be: <span>secretes mucus that is not identical to stomach mucus
</span>
Stomach cell lining is protected by a thick mucus that prevents the acid from destroying the epithelial cells. But the mucus that secreted by the esophagus is different than the stomach. That makes esophagus can't protect itself from the stomach acid.
Two examples of related organisms are dinosaurs/chickens, and the megalodon/the great white shark.
<h3>How have organisms evolved?</h3>
Life emerged on our planet 3.7 billion years ago, and since then organisms have evolved or changed over time this includes:
- The appearance of more complex organisms, which is the result of natural selection.
- The diversification of organisms.
- The extinction or disappearance of species.
This has caused all organisms that exist today to be related to other organisms of the past. Let's examine two examples.
<h3>Dinosaurs and chickens: </h3>
According to scientific research, birds evolved from dinosaurs. Indeed, it has been determined birds started with theropods, which were a specific group of dinosaurs.
This means modern birds including chickens are related to this group of dinosaurs, even if overtime birds have evolved a lot and they might not seem to be very similar to dinosaurs.
<h3>The megalodon and the great white shark:</h3>
These two species of shark likely share a common ancestor and due to this, both species have many similarities such as the shape of their teeth. However, megalodons are extinct, while great white sharks still exist today.

Answer:
C Darwin
Explanation:
Charles Darwin, the father of evolution theorised that within any population, there exists variation in traits which help the animals adapt to their environment and help them survive.
In the same vein, he believed that the breeds of dogs are all one species, but they have incredible genetic diversity.
Therefore, Charles Darwin first realized that variation mattered, even though he didn't know the exact mechanism.
