Question

Alligators, crocodiles, and snakes are all reptiles. However, alligators are more closely related to snakes. Which statement MOST accurately describes how this relationship is explained in Darwin's Theory of Evolution?

Answer 1

Are there any statements given for this assignment? Because according to what I know, alligators and crocodiles are more related to birds because of archosaurian origins. However, crocodiles are more closely related to birds than snakes because the evolution of birds  from having snouts to beaks are slightly evident in crocodiles for they have more pointly snouts.
