Mr. Morales is teaching a lesson on classification. He says that spiders are classified as a different group than insects because they have eight legs instead of six legs. He explains that spiders evolved first. Mr. Morales also says that having eight legs is the derived trait that separates the two groups. Antonio thinks Mr. Morales is wrong. Which piece of information is Antonio considering? Spiders do not have eight legs. Insects do not have six legs. If spiders evolved first, six legs is the derived trait. Spiders do not have derived traits, since they evolved first.

Respuesta :

The right answer is C: If spiders evolved first, six legs is the derived trait.
Hope it helps ;)

Spiders have 8 legs hence they have different group. If spiders evolved first they might have 6 legs. Option C is correct.

Evolution:

In evolution insects come first and have 6 legs and then some of them evolved 2 more legs. The insects with 8 legs are called spiders.

Arachnida:

  • This includes Crabs and  spiders.

Therefore, If spiders evolved first they might have 6 legs. Option C is correct.
