There are basically three types of evolution divergent, convergent and parallel evolution.

a) Divergent Evolution – As the name depicts the species in this form of evolution becomes divergent i.e they evolve to become different from each other. This form of evolution is responsible for the current diversity of organisms existing on planet earth. For example human and apes evolved from a common primate ancestor.

b) Convergent Evolution – In this evolution, different species of organisms living in a similar biosphere start share common traits in the form of analogous features. For example – Whale and fish are not closely related species but they both have fins which are different in structure but have the same function.  

c) Parallel evolution – In this evolution the similar characteristics between the two set of organisms are maintained though the two species continue evolving separately. For example - marsupial mammals of Australia and the Placental mammals

If the density of water is 1 g/ml, what is the mass of 3ml of water?<br><br> PLEASE HELP
SCORPION-xisa [38]

You can use dimensional analysis to figure this out.

=3\ ml × \frac{1g}{ml}

= 3 grams

If done correctly, ml and ml will cancel out, leaving you with grams.

If you don't know dimensional analysis, simply multiply <em>3 ml</em> by <em>1 grams </em>and that should still get you 3 grams.
