1. question: Based on 23.7, which of the following are examples of convergent evolution? The answer is The amniotic egg of crocodiles and mammals is wrong. 2. the answer orderbiss wrong.

Sharks fS and rays Sharks ay-finned fish, coelacanths lungfish, and tetrapods have Ray-finned fish a hinged jaw Lungfish Coelacanths and lungfish have lobed fins Frogs Lungfish and tetrapods have lungs Caccilians Lizards Tetrapods have walking legs. and snakes Turtles Crocodiles Sauropsids and mammals have an amniotic egg. and alligators Birds Mammals have hair and milk glands. tsitnim-mus". Mammals ..- O jaws in sharks and lizards wings in birds and bats the amniotic egg of crocodiles and mammals lungs in lungfish and turtles

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer of the first question is option 2 : wings in birds and bats
(reason: In the prespective of evolutionary biology, convergent evolution is the evolutionary process where distantly related organisms evolve similar traits independently for the need of adapting to survive and flourish in similar environments or ecological niches. In this case the bat is a mammalian species and is distantly related to the birds (aves) but both to survive in the aerial environment have developed the forelimb into wings for efficient locomotion. while the other options are example of divergent evolution)

The correct answer for the second question is option 2: Class
(Reason : in biological classification, the inclucivenesss of any taxonomic rank is the degree of capacity of holding other taxa and the general taxa in order from most inclusive to least inclusive are as follows: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species
