How does a species get an adaptation?​

Biology
1 answer:
statuscvo [17]4 years ago
6 0
Adaptations usually occur because a gene mutates or changes by accident! Some mutations can help an animal or plant survive better than others in the species without the mutation. For example, imagine a bird species. One day a bird is born with a beak that is longer than the beak of other birds in the species.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

C) decreased functional reserve

Explanation:

Ageing is a biological process which leads to the loss of function of the tissue and cells of the organism.

The biological ageing is determined genetically and can be correlated with the chronological ageing. The ageing is also influenced by the environmental factors which could interfere with the physiology, anatomy and morphology of the organisms.

The cell division cycle gets arrested to prevent the proliferation of these damaged cells and to remove the harmful factors from the body. This leads to the loss of function of the cells and tissues.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

placentals and marsupials are two groups of mammals. placentals are more closely related to each other than they are to any othe
NeX [460]

Due to convergent evolution placental mammals (Wolf) are closely related to marsupial wolves (Tasmanian wolf). No, the tree is wrong.

What is convergent evolution?

It is the presence of similar features in animals of different lineages. The structures in these animals have similar functions but are absent in the common ancestors hence they are analogous structures not homologous.

Such convergence of functional, morphological, and structural traits from phylogenetically unrelated species may be a result of random mutation due to selection pressure.

Here, the Tasmanian wolf (marsupial wolf) and wolf (placental mammal) have several morphological similarities but they have unrelated ancestral lineages. Hence they show convergent evolution. These two subclasses of mammals have adapted to a specific food source, locomotor ability, or environment in similar ways.

Hence, the placental wolf and Tasmanian wolf exist sharing the same habitat in different continents former in Asia and the latter in Australia because these two show convergent evolution.
