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>

Burning wood in the rainforest releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. What is this said to cause?
DochEvi [55]
<h3>Answer: B. global warming</h3>

As more CO2 (carbon dioxide) is released into the atmosphere, it traps more heat energy from the sun, and slowly warms the average temperature of the earth. This is the simplified version of what global warming is. Carbon dioxide is considered a greenhouse gas.

Why do scientists take lots of measurements and calculate averages?
Dima020 [189]
 Scientists take more than one measurements because they want to make sure that their results are fairly accurate answer, result, or/ and explanation on a subject.

Reason: If a scientist just used one measurement or used even one testing group then in the near future, people might use that ONE measurement or testing group to prove questions. .
   In actuality, using more than one measurements can help you go for a more precise answer. It is better to use more than one measurement or testing group that way you may have a more wide explanation of why something is that way.
   For example, if a person wants to know why a softer ball(like a tennis ball) bounces higher than something like a box then the person will use more than one measurement. This will include the height of the bounce, the volume of the items used, the force of gravity on the object, and some other things.

(Hope this helps you better understand :) )

An ecology student noticed that Big Moose Lake has a higher nitrogen level than Brant Lake, but has lower algae growth. This dat
egoroff_w [7]

Explanation:

A student of ecology researched about the low growth of algae in the Big Moose lake as compared to the Brant lake, though Big Moose lake has higher  level of nitrogen and nutrients in it.

Nitrogen and phosphorous are an important element for the growth of algae in water bodies but in presence of pollutants in  the water bodies and low oxygen content, the algae grows in slower rate. Besides, slower growth of algae may also affected by the acid rain that happens near Moose lake, which is harmful for algae growth due ti the presence of sulphur.
