Answer: Option E (B and D are the only examples.
Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.
Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.
Explanation:
Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.
Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.
B. Subgroups
<span>When constructing a dichotomous key, the first step is to look at the group of objects or organisms and separate them into two groups based on a single distinguishing characteristic. Then continue to separate each of the groups until each object has its own separate set of characteristics.</span>
Answer:
Yes, different cell types also have special duties, like building skin or bone, pumping out hormones, or making anti-bodies.
Explanation:
Cell is the basis structural and functional unit of a living organism. The body of a human is composed of trillions of cells that are organized in around 200 types of cells.
<u>A tissue is simply a group of specific kind of cell that have a specific role.</u>
- For example: The nervous system contains cells called neurons that have ability to transmit message from one place to another and allow us to respond to any environmental stimuli, such as heat, cold, danger etc.
- Skin cell is composed of cells that have a role in protecting the body against the attack of harmful microbes. They also protect have role in building new skin cells and adding the protection to our body.
- Blood cells have a role in providing us immunity (for example white blood cells) therefore, make us better able to protect ourselves from danger of diseases.
- Muscle cells help us in moving our organs as well as allowing the whole movement from one place to another.
Thus we see that different types of cells have special functions and all these different cells coordinate with each other to make an organized and functioning body of a living organism.
Hope it help!
