Answer:

The correct answer would be - Classification of the organism and characteristics of the spines.

Explanation:

Homology is the term that used to describe the similarities in between biological structures or the organs in 2 or more distinct organism that comes from a common ancestors.

Homoplasy in other hand does not share a common lineage and evolve over the period in different organism, most likely in response of natural selection.

Information one will need to determine whether these spines are result of homoplasy or homology would be the characteristics of spines if they are thorns or spikes and other characters. The second most important information is the classification to know the place on the cladogram.

Thus, the correct answer would be- Classification of the organism and characteristics of the spines.

Given what you know about the specific heats of various substances, why are pots and pans made of metal
OlgaM077 [116]
Cooking utensils need to be able to conduct heat well. Metal pots and pans are made out of the types of metals that make them such. This same type of metal though does not react chemically when placed in contact with heat. This characteristic is important when preparing food so as not to alter the taste. This is the reason why pots and pans are made out of metal.
