Arthropods invaded land about 100 million years before vertebrates did so. This most clearly implies that

#Section 6: Plant, Animal and Microbial Biotechnology
  1. arthropods have had more time to co-evolve with land plants than have vertebrates.
  2. extant terrestrial arthropods are better adapted to terrestrial life than are extant terrestrial vertebrates.
  3. ancestral arthropods must have been poorly adapted to aquatic life, thus experienced a selective pressure to invade land.
  4. vertebrates evolved from arthropods.

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased
Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.
How primer concentration leads to decrease in PCR efficiency?
