**Text for Educational Website:**---**Ducks and Webbed Feet: An Evolutionary Perspective**Ducks are aquatic birds. Their feet are webbed, and this trait enhances their swimming capabilities. Biologists believe that ducks evolved from land birds that did not possess webbed feet. The amount of webbing on a duck’s feet is a heritable trait.**Question:**While webbed feet were evolving in ancestral ducks, with each generation:- Most ducks had about the same amount of webbing on their feet as their parents.- Most ducks had more webbing on their feet than their parents.- Most ducks had less webbing on their feet than their parents.- The amount of webbing on ducks' feet had no relationship with the amount their parents had.*Choose the most accurate statement.*---

Introduction : The water is necessary for the aquatic birds to swim. As compared to fish, they don't have fins that can help move the water. The webbed feet of these birds serve as fins, assisting in the movement of the water backward. When a predator is pursuing them, the birds can fly quicker because to their webbed feet.Option A is correct i.e most ducks had about the same amount of webbing on their feet as their parents. Explanation : Even though there is proof that despite losing their original webbed feet, many mammals have managed to preserve not only their swimming circuit and swimming behaviour, but also the evolutionary processes that led to their webbed feet. All vertebrate terrestrial embryos, including those of us humans, still develop webbed feet. However, these feet are eventually apoptotically eliminated at different stages of embryogenesis.
