uences in common with four-legged geckos than they do with legless eels. What do these two observations have in common?

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>

Pie

Flowering plants reproduce sexually through a process called pollination. The flowers contain male sex organs called stamens and female sex organs called pistils. Cross-pollination happens when the wind or animals move pollen from one plant to fertilize the ovules on a different plant.

If you eat a hamburger, you are mainly eating ground-up beef muscle. what levels of organization are represented in this ground-
Ghella [55]
The right answer is: <span>organelle, cell, and tissue

<span>Muscle is a soft tissue, found in animals. Composed of muscle tissue and connective tissue (+ blood vessels + nerves). The muscle cells (a component of the muscle tissue) contain actin and myosin protein filaments that slide on each other, producing a contraction that changes both the length and shape of the cell.
</span></span>The muscle cells, like other cells, consists of a plasma membrane containing a cytoplasm, which is formed of an aqueous solution (Cytosol) in which there are many biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, organized or not in the context of organelles.<span>
