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.

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.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Enzyme immunoassays are the techniques used to detect the presence of antigens with the help of antibodies. Each of the antibody molecules has a constant and variable region.

The primary antibodies are added to the wells. The constant region of the secondary antibody is bound to an enzyme while its variable region is free so that it can bind to the specific antigen.

Addition of substrate to the system is followed by visualization and/or evaluation of antigen as the reaction between enzyme and substrate produce some visible changes such as color change.
