Answer:

Antonio is right Mr. Morales considered eight legs to be a derived trait when it is an ancestral one.

Explanation:

If spiders evolved first then having eight legs is an ancestral trait and having six legs is a derived one. Mr. Morales says that having eight legs is a trait that separates the two groups which may be correct, but it is an ancestral trait, not a derived one because organisms with eight legs cannot derive from a six-legged ancestor. Rather it is the opposite. That is the piece of information that Antonio is considering.

On this World Meteorological Day, celebrated each year on March 23, we climb far above the Earth for a view of the southern Peruvian coast courtesy of the Landsat 8 satellite. Below the clouds, at the bottom of those canyons, are the Yauca and <span>Acarí </span>Rivers, which drain into the Pacific. As any good meteorologist taking a break from today’s celebrations will tell you, warm air from the equator forms a layer over the cool coastal air here, pushing the clouds into the deep river canyons and covering the Pacific Ocean shore.
