It is because convergent evolution represents the independent evolution of similar features in species that don't have the same ancestor. In this case filamentous body forms evolved independently, but have the same function: an adaptation for a nutrition of decomposers.
Homeotic genes regulate the development of structures. Logically, then, the mutation of this gene must result in improper structure development, such as structures in abnormal places. The answer is C.
The answer is; D
The porous rock is able to absorb water from precipitation. The water resides in the pores of the rock. The impermeable rock later, which does not allow water to pass through it, allows more water to hold in the porous rock and making the local water table to rise. The water in the porous rock, therefore, can be accessed through wells or a water spring can develop.
Mutation can cause instant adaptation while natural selection is the process by which adaptation occurs over a series of generations.
