How can you explain why two species that look similar are not necessarily that closely related

Convergent evolution would be the best way to explain why two species that look similar are not necessarily that closely related. In convergent evolution, distinct species develop similar anatomical characteristics after its divergence from one common ancestor that does not possess the initial characteristic.

<h2>[] Hello ! []</h2>

Answer:

<u>Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria.</u>

<u>However, plant cells and animal cells do not look exactly the same or have all of the same organelles, since they each have different needs. For example, plant cells contain chloroplasts since they need to perform photosynthesis, but animal cells do not.</u>

Explanation:

Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria, but only plant cells have chloroplasts. Plants don’t get their sugar from eating food, so they need to make sugar from sunlight. This process (photosynthesis) takes place in the chloroplast. Once the sugar is made, it is then broken down by the mitochondria to make energy for the cell. Because animals get sugar from the food they eat, they do not need chloroplasts: just mitochondria.

Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles. A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles.

Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Ray Of Light [21]

Rebecca tells Tom that he is singing “off pitch.” Rebecca is referring to Frequency of sound.

Frequency is measured as the number of wave cycles that occur in one second. It is defined as the speed of the vibration and this further determines the pitch of the sound. This is usually useful for musical sounds where there is a strong waveform.
