The island fox shares a common ancestor with the gray fox, Urocyon cinereoargenteus, which is found on the mainland.

A. Both species have similar coloration and a diploid chromosome number of 66.
B. One structural difference between the two species is the reduced size of the island fox, a feature known as dwarfism.
C. The various island subspecies also differ from each other in size, number of tail vertebrae, and other characteristics.
D. The phylogenetic tree below shows the evolutionary relationships between the island fox subspecies and the gray fox.
E. Drag the labels to their appropriate locations on the tree.

Option "B & C"

B: One structural difference between the two species is the reduced size of the island fox, a feature known as dwarfism.

C: The various island subspecies also differ from each other in size, number of tail vertebrae, and other characteristics.

Explanation:

One notable difference between gray foxes and island foxes is the small size of island foxes. This character (dwarfism) was exhibited by the common ancestor of all six island fox subspecies. Note that the northern Channel Island fox subspecies are more closely related to each other than to any of the southern subspecies, and that the southern subspecies are more closely related to each other than to the northern subspecies.

i think the answer is b.

correct answer: false

while planning water activities, it is very important to consider the weather, because if we do not plan and are going for a surf, then it might be that the hurricane came and drown us or may carry us to long distance from where we can not come back. there are many reasons to take information about the weather when we are planning any water activities.

hence, the correct answer would be false.
