Answer:D. convergent evolution

Explanation:

Cacti or cactuses are member of the plant family and are often referred to as spiny plants that are usually found in the desserts.

Evolution - In biology, is described the ascent or descent in the characteristics of a species over a series of generations

and natural selection favors its modification.

When two species populations evolve to become more similar to each other we say say they have a convergence evolution.

Hint: Evolution of analogous structures is always an example of convergent evolution.

Bark of a tree is impervious to gases and water
Naddika [18.5K]

vfiekz [6]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

No, the hypothesis will be proved correct only when the lizards will be kept in the same condition then their food preferences will be studied.

If their food preference will still be the same then it can be concluded that they reflect parental food preferences.

Else, if they will feed on the food given to them then the hypothesis will be rejected.
