Complete question: A phylogenetic tree shows that birds and crocodiles share many features. A hypothesis based on this tree predicts that these features are present in a common ancestor. Which of these predicted traits is supported by fossil evidence?
A) four-chambered heart
B) singing for territory
C) eggs and nests
D) singing to attract mates
Answer: (c) eggs and nests
Explanation:
A hypothesis based on phylogenetic tree shows that birds and crocodiles have ancestral connection. Fossil evidence shows that their common ancestor exhibit oviparity as a means of reproduction (i.e. laying of eggs and embryo develops within the egg), and also housed their eggs in the nest for protection against predators and other important reasons.
The age of oceanic bedrock on either side of a mid-ocean ridge is supporting evidence that at the ridges, tectonic plates are Diverging
.
Explanation:
The underwater mountain range is the mid oceanic ridge, which were formed as a result of plate tectonics. when the convection current goes up in the mantle present beneath the oceanic crust results in the uplifting of the ocean floor.
Which leads to the formation of the tectonic plates through magma, that meet at divergent boundaries. The density and the age and the thickness of these oceanic crust increases due to the distance from the ridges. The mid oceanic ridges has been split on two sides as matching stripes
