A shark and a dolphin have similarly shaped bodies and fins. However, these two organisms are not closely related: The shark is

a fish, and the dolphin is a mammal. Some species may have similar body structures even if they are not related because they evolved in:_______.
a) similar environments and specific traits increased their chances of survival
b) similar environments and were exposed to factors that caused exactly the same mutations
c) different environments, but tried to adapt in the same ways so they could survive
d) different environments, but ate similar foods that affected their growth and development

Answer:

The preferable option will be - A.

A. similar environments and specific traits increased their chances of survival.

Explanation:

  • The shark and dolphins have similar body shape and fins. But shark is a fish and dolphin is a mammal.
  • Both of them are exposed to similar kind of environments. Both of them possess a specific kind of alternative characters and traits.  
  • So, Some species may have similar body structures even if they are not related because they evolved in similar environments and specific traits increased their chances of survival.

The head of a phospholipid interacts with water because it is
Delvig [45]
Hydrophilic

A phospholipid is comprised of a phosphate hydrophilic head, which means that it is "water-loving," and a fatty acid hydrophobic tail, which is "water-hating." The head and the tail are joined together by a glycerol molecule. 

The phosphate head is attracted to water because it is charged (i.e. negatively). Water is a polar molecule, which means that there is an uneven distribution of charges within its molecular structure with the oxygen side being "more negative" than the rest of the atom (which is "more positive" near the hydrogen). Thus, the negatively-charged nature of the phosphate head and the parts of the water molecule which are positively charged enable the two to form an "attraction" towards one another. 

On the other hand, the hydrophobic tail is nonpolar, which means that it does not have a "more positive" or "more negative" side or part in its molecular structure. These differences in structure with water make the hydrophobic tail unattracted to water molecules and more attracted to other uncharged, nonpolar molecules (such as fats and oils).
