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.

One of the "triggers" proposed for the Cambrian explosion is a dramatic rise in oxygen concentrations that occurred in the ocean
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

1. Oxygen is an effective final electron acceptor in cellular respiration because of its high electronegativity.

2. Organisms that use it as a final electron acceptor can produce more usable energy than organisms that do not use oxygen, but only if it is available.

3. With more available energy, aerobic organisms can grow larger and move faster.

Explanation:

1. Cellular respiration is an aerobic pathway because oxygen is an electron acceptor. This process produces 38 molecules of ATP per glucose. The atomic elements that are positioned at the right of the periodic table have high electronegativities because they tend to be electron acceptors.  

2. The efficiency of energy production of aerobic respiration is much higher compared to the anaerobic respiration because this metabolic pathway (aerobic respiration) can produce 38 molecules of ATPs per glucose molecule, while anaerobic respiration produces only 2 ATPs by glucose.

3. A higher amount of available energy improves the metabolic profile of the organisms with aerobic respiration.
