Despite not sharing a recent common reptilian ancestor, both mammals and birds are homeotherms. Which of the following statements best explains how this trait came about?
A.
The development of homeothermic capabilities is the result of convergent evolution due to similar selection pressures

Select one: A. A is the correct representation of mass change because as the baby bird develops inside the egg, it grows new parts. B. B is the correct representation of mass change because the baby bird uses cellular respiration to fuel the biosynthesis of new parts and gives off mass as CO2. C. C is the correct representation showing that nothing new comes into the egg and nothing leaves the egg, so it retains the same mass.arrow_forward
