Species evolve independently possibly due to geographical isolations or behavioural isolations.
Geographical isolation includes the isolation of 2 groups of the same species. Since these 2 groups live in different locations, (e.g. a volcanic eruption resulting in a barrier between one side of an ocean and another side of the ocean), they will have different selection pressures in their different environments as well (e.g. one side of the ocean may have more sunlight and thus more underwater plantations than the other side of the ocean). Natural selection will eliminate those with disadvantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes that only eat plants and nothing else on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with unfavourable alleles, and select for those with advantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes are able to eat plants and other organic substances as well on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with favourable alleles.
Since the 2 groups have different selection pressures, natural selection will occur in different ways, selecting for and against different types of fishes with different types of alleles. Also, because of the barrier, they are not able to mate with each other, and there are no mixing of genes from one side of the ocean and the other side. They are genetically isolated. As genetic drift occurs over time, their gene pools become different from each other. Thus, they evolve independently.

Answer:
A. The specific functional role of an organism
Explanation:
A habitat is the general place where an organism lives and a niche is the range of physical and biological conditions in which a species lives and the way the species obtain what it needs to survive and reproduce.

Answer:
Trend analysis
Explanation:
Trend analysis is a technique which is used during technical analysis in the prediction of the prices of future stocks based in the currently observed trends. The basic idea behind the trend analysis is the success or failure of a trade in future can be estimated by the conditions of the trade in past. Thus in this analysis the upward or downward growth trend of a business is used in prediction of future of business and in this way it is helpful for the investors to be sure that they should invest their money in the business or not.
Answer:
A. Whales evolved from four-legged animals.
Explanation:
I'm 100% on this one, because on Plato we were learning about evolution, and one of the slides said that whale had evolved from four legged animals.
Hope this helps ya!!!
