Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages.

It creates analogous structures with similar form or function but these structures were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups.  

The filamentous body forms of slime molds, water molds and the hyphae of fungi  is considered a case of convergent evolution because the filaments shape is an adaptation for a nutritional mode as a decomposer.

It is because convergent evolution represents the independent evolution of similar features in species that don't have the same ancestor. In this case filamentous body forms evolved independently, but have the same function: an adaptation for a nutrition of decomposers.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A. The urinary tract infections or the UTI refers to the infections found in the urethra, kidney, and bladder. The infection generally takes place because of the entry of bacteria that may invade the urethra or bladder. This leads to irritation in the bladder primarily in women.  

B. In urinary tract infections, primarily the kidneys, bladder, and ureter get affected. The infection is most commonly caused by E.coli and Klebsiella species. In women, the urethra is generally shorter in comparison to males, thus, bacteria can easily invade the bladder most probably at the time of sex.  

The mentioned bacteria are usually found in the digestive tract and may move into the urinary system, mainly at the time of sexual intercourse.
