Pretty sure it's 66 million years (c) because there are 4 differences in total, then divide that in 2 to get 2, then multiply that by 2 to get 66 million. I'll tell you if it's right I'm taking the quiz right now. Yeah it was right

if a prey evolves to increase its defenses, its predator often evolves to counteract this change. a. True b. False​
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:  

Coevolution is a biological process where pairs of species or among groups of species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through natural selection. This process produces genetic changes in the traits of interacting species that are a consequence of reciprocal adaptation between these interacting taxa. Coevolution occurs when species are ecologically intimate (i.e., they interact with one another), such as the interaction between hosts and parasites or predators and prey.

Within the human body, both aerobic and anaerobic respiration are important.
