Answer:

It is called mimicry when a living thing copies the appearance of another living thing as a means of protection.

Explanation:

Mimicry is used primarily by living things as a means for protection and to decrease the chances of the living thing being killed. For example, a frog that is prey to a toad could have bright colors (bright color frogs are often poisonous) that don't mean anything to the frog and it's species, but to the toad, the frog is poisonous and should not be eaten, so the toad does not eat the frog because it is brightly colored.

Without mimicry, the frog would have been eaten because it wouldn't have had looked like a poisonous frog, or something that the toad would avoid.

Answer:

The preferable option will be - C.

C. Improves outcomes.

Explanation:

Studies related to staffing and patient outcomes suggest that patient outcomes are improved with a low nurse-to-patient ratio and especially with a low registered nurse-to-patient ratio.

If one nurse has to take care of more patients then the service quality will fall down.
If one nurse will take care of one or two patients then the service will be better.
The more the 1:1 ratio, the more the better service.

What is plausible evidence supporting the hypothesis that birds evolved from dinosaurs?

DochEvi [55]

The most plausible evidence that birds have evolved from dinosaurs is that the birds have the exact same bone structure as one of the dinosaur super-families, the <em>Saurischia. </em>In this group of dinosaurs we have the total same skeletal structure as in the birds, and most of the dinosaurs of this branch were bipedal, as are the birds, both flying and nonflying.
