Question

Marianne is comparing two animals: a fruit fly and a fruit bat. She asks, "Do a fruit fly and a fruit bat share a common ancestor in their evolutionary history?" According to evolutionary theory, what is the answer to Marianne's question? A. Yes, because the fruit fly and fruit bat share the common trait of eating fruit. B. No, because the fruit fly is an insect and the fruit bat is a mammal. C. Maybe, depending on specific traits at the organism and cellular levels of both animals. D. Yes, because all living things share a common ancestor.

Answer 1

Answer: c. maybe, depending on specific traits at organism in cellular levels of both animals

Explanation:

Evolutionary history has to do with the processes through which living organisms evolve from their ancestors to their present generations.

It's quite possible for the fruit fly and the fruit bat to share a common ancestor based on their evolutionary history depending on specific traits at the organism and cellular levels of both animals.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
