Scientists have observed that pythons have vestigial leg bones. They have also observed that snakes in general have more DNA seq

uences in common with four-legged geckos than they do with legless eels. What do these two observations have in common?
Answer
They both suggest that geckos evolved from snakes.
They both suggest that pythons are more primitive than other snakes.
They both suggest that snakes evolved from an ancestor with legs.
They both suggest that snakes evolved from geckos.

The answer is <span>They both suggest that snakes evolved from an ancestor with legs.

The second choice is not correct since we have no information about pythons and other snakes. We only have the relationship between geckos, snakes and legless eels. So, it is said that </span><span>snakes in general have more DNA sequences in common with four-legged geckos than they do with legless eels. This means that snakes are closer to geckos than the legless eels. We cannot conclude from this information which evolved from which, but we can say that </span><span>snakes evolved from an ancestor with legs.
In different case, if the snakes had more DNA sequence in common with legless eels, we would conclude that the snakes evolved from an ancestor without legs.</span>

The mass extinction occurring today differs from those that occurred in the past because
ahrayia [7]
The main reason for the difference in the mass extinction occurring today and previously is the pace of the current extinction. The extinction is taking place globally and involves hundreds of species at the same time. In less than 50 years, we have lost numerous species. In contrast to this, previously during the mass extinction, only a few species were lost, and other managed to survive. But, not the status is opposite due to the magnitude of the extinction.

why do you think it’s important to also consider DNA and gene patterns during the classification of organisms?
rewona [7]
The evolution of molecular biology has made possible to establish a new classification of all organisms according to their DNA, and it's called phylogenetic classification.This classification groups living beings according to their kinship, established according to anatomical, physiological and behavioral criteria and especially genetic, based on the similarity of genes between species.
This made it possible to discover kinship ties between species of which there is no suspicion of any morphological link between them, something which the old classification (the traditional classification) was incapable of doing (and this proves the importance of the DNA and genes in organisms classification.
