Complete question: A phylogenetic tree shows that birds and crocodiles share many features. A hypothesis based on this tree predicts that these features are present in a common ancestor. Which of these predicted traits is supported by fossil evidence?

A) four-chambered heart

B) singing for territory

C) eggs and nests

D) singing to attract mates

Answer: (c) eggs and nests

Explanation:

A hypothesis based on phylogenetic tree shows that birds and crocodiles have ancestral connection. Fossil evidence shows that their common ancestor exhibit oviparity as a means of reproduction (i.e. laying of eggs and embryo develops within the egg), and also housed their eggs in the nest for protection against predators and other important reasons.

What is the adaptive (natural selection) benefit of the diving response in aquatic and marine mammals? do you think it has an ad
MakcuM [25]

The mammalian diving reflex refers to an adaptive characteristic that permits the mammals to stay underwater for an elongated duration of time. It is more noticeable in aquatic mammals, however, is weaker in mammals like humans.  

This reflex is initiated when the face encounters with cold water. The initial influence is bradycardia in which the rate of the heart slows down up to 25 percent. There is peripheral vasoconstriction that comprises a reduction in the supply of blood to the arms and legs, and the supply upsurges towards the brain.  

It can be stated that in humans, it is not an evolutionary vestige, but yes it is not much amended as aquatic mammals due to their terrestrial habitat.
