The following diagram shows the branching tree diagram for some animals.

A slanting line is shown. There are five lines drawn vertically on this line at equal intervals. Shark, Frog, Kangaroo, Lion and Chimpanzee are written on top of each vertical line in order from left to right. Common Ancestor is written on the left end of the line. There is a black circle between each pair of these vertical lines. The first black circle is before Shark and says Vertebrae. The second black circle is between Shark and Frog and says Lungs. The third black circle is between Frog and Kangaroo and says Mammary gland. The fourth black circle is between Kangaroo and Lion and says Placenta. The fifth black circle is between Lion and Chimpanzee and says Large brain.

Which two organisms share the least number of derived characteristics?

Frog and kangaroo
Kangaroo and chimpanzee
Lion and chimpanzee
Shark and chimpanzee

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good

explanation:

answer and explanation;

volcanic rocks are igneous rocks which form from lava, molten rock which has been thrust out of a volcano onto the surface of a rocky body such as an asteroid, planet, or dwarf planet.  

plutonic rocks are igneous rocks which form from subterranean chambers of molten rock or magma. plutonic rocks make up the base of continental crust as well as oceanic crust. their slow rate of formation causes them to be coarse grained since there is plenty of time for large crystals to form before the magma solidifies into rock.

the textural difference is that plutonic rocks are more coarse grained than volcanic rocks. plutonic rocks are coarse grained while volcanic are fine grained ; glassey or fragmental. since fine and coarse are adjectives the decision as to whether a rock is fine or coarse grained is generally made on the bases of whether or not the individual crystals can be seen in most if the rock.

osteogenesis imperfecta (oi) refers to a congenital ailment of bones. in the condition, the bones become brittle or fragile. this ailment is a general result of the defect or mutations in the genes (colia1 or colia2). this mutation results in imperfect collagen formation either in quantity or quality wise.  

there are eight kinds of oi defects, and each kind varies with certain distinctions in symptoms. the usual symptoms include frequent bone fractures, loss of hearing in infants, protruding eyes, discoloration of the white in the eyes, respiratory issues, loosening of the joints, short stature, and other symptoms.
