The only coin evolution pays in is reproductive success. Having two children who leave no offspring would not give you an advantage over having one child who leaves many offspring. Or any combination thereof. Twinning is a developmental thing of egg doubling or fraternal twins being just like siblings. So, the act of twinning would not seem to confer any more advantage in and of itself, but twins having successful offspring that drive many parental genes to fixation in a population of organism would be reproductively successful that way.

How do you determine the evolutionary advantage for having taste buds that determine unpleasant bitter compounds in many plant species?
I see taste buds more as like an evolutionary Benefactor, rather than an individualized enhancement to the human body. A bi-product from our wonderfull brain.
Type of classification based on evolutionary history?
Evolutionary Classification.
Living things have a long history of change?
evolutionary change.
According to evolutionary theory what was the most likely evolutionary precursor to humans?
Hominids

What was the evolutionary advantage of the modification of scales on reptiles to feathers on ancestral birds?
The feathers helped retain body heat.
What is an evolutionary advantage of an organism with bilateral symmetry?
Higher probability of cephilization(or a concentration of nervous tissue at the anterior end of the organism)
how seeds are evolved?
Seeds have storage tissues that help them sustain growth and function as a protective coat giving them their superior evolutionary advantage.
Why does giraffe's have long necks?
Because there was an evolutionary advantage to having a long neck that enabled the animal to browse foliage that was out of the reach of other herbivores.
Why is your testicle uneven?
It just is. Perhaps the shape provided some sort of evolutionary advantage. Natural selection is the reason everything on your body looks and works as it does.

How is a forked uterus in pigs an adaptation for multiple births?
The uterus of pigs has separate canals instead of a single canal. The evolutionary advantage of this is that multiple births can be performed.
What might be the evolutionary advantage of genes being interrupted by introns?
An intron is an area in the DNA that has not been translated into a protein. One evolutionary advantage of genes being interrupted by introns is that it reduces the occurrence of genetic mutations.
