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>

Which advantage of reproduction does the graph show? Explain!
Brilliant_brown [7]

The explanation regarding the advantage of reproduction that represents the graph should be described below.

Advantages of reproduction:

Here the graph represents the bacteria population that should be raised as the time passes. At the time of 1st hour, the bacteria population should be 50 per ml.

In the second hour, the population should be doubled. In the third hour it should be 200 per ml and in 3 and half hours, the population should be 300 per ml. So here we can see that the population should be doubled with every hour.
