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>

Of the choices below, which best describes the effect predation has on the predator/prey organisms involved in the relationship?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. benefit ... harmed

Explanation:

Predation is a type of interaction between two individuals in which one individual gets harmed which is called prey and another organism who is predator gets benefitted.

In predation, the predator kills its prey and consume it to survive. For example, Lion is a predator and deer is the prey so during predation lion kills the deer and consume it so here lions get benefited by consuming deer and deer is harmed as it lost its life. So the correct answer is C. benefit ... harmed.

The pictures show close-up views of a fir tree and a cactus.
Akimi4 [234]

The fir tree can be found in the coniferous forest biome, and the cactus can be found in the desert biome.

Option C.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Both the cactus and fir trees are having modified tree leaves due to the same purpose - saving water.

The fir trees are found in the coniferous forests which are mainly seen in mountains or in the temperate region. Both the regions face very cold climates and frequent snowfalls in every years. This is why there's a lack of water in the surroundings. This is why they need to save water and minimize transpiration.

Whereas the cacti are found in desert or semi arid regions where water is itself very scarce and temperature is either very high or very low. So they have their leaves converted into spines which help to reduce transpiration.
