Body parts of unrelated organisms that serve the same function are examples of convergent evolution.
<span>Convergent evolution is the phenomenon when the different species independently create similar features. Those features can be structures that have similar form or function. This happens because organisms have been adapted to similar environments or ecological niches.</span>
An open circulatory system simply
means that the blood flows out of vessels and into the spaces or sinuses. Invertebrates,
insects and crustaceans has an open circulatory system where pump blood goes
into a hemocoel and diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells. In
other animals, the heart pumps the blood into the body cavities, spaces or
sinuses, where the blood surrounds the tissues.

A) This is predator-prey relationship.
B) Species A is prey and species B is predator.
- If prey population decreases in number, the predator population will also decrease because there is not enough food for predators to survive and vice versa.
- If predator population decreases, the prey population will increase because less prey will be eaten by predators and vice versa.
C) Let population A be Zebras, and population B Lions.
From the graph, at the beginning the there is increase in Lions, as well as in smaller rate in Zebras. At one point, the population of Lions begins to decrease, so they will eat less Zebras. This will allow Zebras to increase population. With more Zebras on the menu, more Lions will eat and increase their chance to survive. This leads to decrease in Zebra population. But again, with less Zebras, the Lion population must decrease allowing Zebra population to increase, and so on.
