Answer:

B. polyphyletic group

Explanation:

Polyphyletic group is a taxon which comprises of organisms which are unrelated and do not share a recent or immediate common ancestor. Polyphyletic group is often used to refer to a group of organisms with similar characteristics called homoplasies, but not inherited from  a common ancestor. This means that the organisms are of multiple origins irrespective of the traits that make them similar.

Therefore, from the question, because we do not consider ourselves fish, we would describe the group "fish" as polyphyletic.

If you collect 62 ml of gravitational water in a graduated cylinder and you started with 100 ml of water that you poured through
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

38.

Explanation:

All water that are present in soil is not available for the plants. Gravitation water is present in soil due to the gravitational force. The gravitation water remains for short time and cannot be consumed by the plants.

The capillary water is available to the plants and this water is attained in the soil pores. The total water present in soil sample is 100 ml. 62ml is gravitation water. The volume of capillary water = total water - gravitation water = 100 - 62 =  38ml.

Thus, the answer is 38ml.
