Ostriches don’t use their wings for flight, but they do use them for other functions, such as mating rituals and balance. Many ancestors of ostriches did fly. What can you conclude about ostrich behavior from this information? A. Ostriches inherited the genes for wings from their ancestors, even though the function of these structures changed. B. Ostriches developed mutations in their wings to willfully adapt to their current environment. C. Ostriches lack a close evolutionary relationship with these ancestral birds. D. In the near future, ostriches will have no wings because they have no need for them. Reset Next

A. Ostriches inherited the genes for wings from their ancestors, even though the function of these structures changed.

Explanation:

What we can conclude from this behavior is that ostriches inherited the genes for wings from their ancestors even though the function of these structures have changed.

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

explanation:

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
