Answer:

The correct answer will be option C- Convergent evolution.

Explanation:

The body shape of dolphins, sharks and penguins show similarity in structure sue to the same niche they inhabit which is the ocean.

All of them exhibit features which helped them survive in ocean-like streamlined bodies, fins and flippers. The dolphin, shark and penguins are not closely related but inherited similar characters (streamlined bodies, fins and flippers) due to the process of convergent evolution. These analogous features helped their survival in the same conditions.

Thus, option C- Convergent evolution is the correct answer.

Hello! I have a question and I ask if you can make it a bit detailed. I am struggling to understand the Calvin Cycle in the proc
igomit [66]

Absolutely!  The Calvin Cycle is a process that takes place within the stroma of chloroplasts during photosynthesis.  This cycle is a light-independent reaction because it does not need sunlight to fully develop.  The process is, however, dependent on ATP and NADHP from those light reactions.

If you want a really good study guide for the Calvin Cycle, just follow this link; it helps A LOT!
