Describe two examples of ancient and modern organisms that may be related. Use evidence and scientific reasoning to support your

omeli [17]

Two examples of related organisms are dinosaurs/chickens, and the megalodon/the great white shark.

<h3>How have organisms evolved?</h3>

Life emerged on our planet 3.7 billion years ago, and since then organisms have evolved or changed over time this includes:

The appearance of more complex organisms, which is the result of natural selection.
The diversification of organisms.
The extinction or disappearance of species.

This has caused all organisms that exist today to be related to other organisms of the past. Let's examine two examples.

<h3>Dinosaurs and chickens: </h3>

According to scientific research, birds evolved from dinosaurs. Indeed, it has been determined birds started with theropods, which were a specific group of dinosaurs.

This means modern birds including chickens are related to this group of dinosaurs, even if overtime birds have evolved a lot and they might not seem to be very similar to dinosaurs.

<h3>The megalodon and the great white shark:</h3>

These two species of shark likely share a common ancestor and due to this, both species have many similarities such as the shape of their teeth. However, megalodons are extinct, while great white sharks still exist today.

I really need help in a biology. I don't what type of experiment I should conduct.

nikdorinn [45]

If you can generate a strong enough static charge, and construct a glove to hold the charge, like a capacitor and slowly pour water on the glove. the positive hydrogen molecules in the water will attract to the static charge. and will become suspended.
This is just a theory so if you do try this please. tell me how it goes.
