Answer:
Convergent evolution
Explanation:
The convergent evolution is a very interesting evolutionary process that is also very helpful when ti comes to explaining how the evolution actually works. This type of evolution appears when two or more different species, be it plants or animals, live in places that are isolated from one another, but have the same or very similar living conditions. The species then evolve in a very similar manner despite them not being closely related at all, bu the response from them is the same in order to survive in the environments that provide the same conditions. If the conditions are very harsh, hot, and dry, thus a desert, then the two plants will develop the same or very similar features. They will have very hard leaves that stop the loss of water. The amount of leaves will be very low. The root systems will be disproportionately large. They will both have the ability to extract humidity from the air. The chances are also very high that they will both have thorns for protection, as well as certain amount of poison in them for the same purpose.
Answer:
Special properties of an oxygen-binding protein in the muscles of marine mammals, such as seals, whales and dolphins, are the reason these animals can hold their breath underwater for long periods of time, according to a new study. ... In fact, the amount was so high in the muscle that it almost looked black in color.
Explanation:
Answer:
A) The two strands of a DNA molecule are parallel and complementary.
Explanation:
DNA is a polymer of nucleotide and this nucleotide are made up of a deoxyribose sugar molecule, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. In DNA genetic information of the cell is stored in the form of nitrogenous bases.
DNA is double-stranded and both the strands run anti-parallel with each other. This anti-parallel orientation provides the nitrogenous base of one strand to form hydrogen bonds with the nitrogenous base present on the opposite strand.
In DNA adenine base pairs with thymine with two hydrogen bonds and guanine base pairs with cytosine with three hydrogen bonds. So the false statement is A.
Answer:
Until recent history,extinctions have always happened gradually and on a small scale.
Explanation:
Extinction occur when environmental factors like natural disaster,habitat fragmentation,over exploitation,global change don't favor the survival of species thus gradually leads to extinction of species.
Some times human activity becomes the major problem for extinction.More over,poor reproduction,decline in population number and genetic inbreeding also leads to extinction.
99% of all species that exist on earth become disappeared.
Evolution leas to speciation which leas to formation of new species but species become extinct when they are unable to survive against competition.
