Answer: Option E (B and D are the only examples.

Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.

Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.

Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.

Collectively called the auditory ossicles. What do you call this membrane?
mafiozo [28]

Answer: Tympanic membrane.

Explanation:

Sound is a type of mechanical energy, the result of the transmission of energy from vibrating air particles from a sound source to more distant parts. Sound frequency is a concept that characterizes the pitch of a sound, defining it as low, medium or high. The tympanic membrane separates the outer ear from the middle ear. The main function of the outer ear is the protection of the eardrum membrane maintain a certain temperature and humidity balance necessary to preserve the elasticity of the membrane. Contributing to these functions are ceruminous cerumen-producing glands, hair, and epithelial migration from internal to external. The ossicles (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) form a bridge conducting the eardrum vibrations to the inner ear. At waves arrive in the form of amplified mechanical energy. The middle ear consists of the eardrum and three ossicles: hammer, anvil, and stirrup. It transfers through the ossicles the vibratory movement of the eardrum to the oval window of the cochlea.
