Answer:

convergent evolution.

Explanation:

When organisms of distantly related species or groups are found in similar environmental conditions, they develop some similar features which are otherwise not present in their ancestral species. This is called convergent evolution. Convergent evolution also results in the development of similar traits in the distantly related organisms that are found in distantly located geographical regions having similar environmental conditions. Therefore, the presence of the same features in rodents and flying squirrels represent convergent evolution.

Nitrates are made by converting ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2-) and then to nitrate (NO3-). What do you predict the O2 levels in
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Low - The generation of nitrates (NO 3-) requires oxygen, so the oxygen levels will be low

Explanation:

Nitrates are formed when the ammonia react with oxygen present in water. The oxygen which react with ammonia is not the oxygen of water molecule, it is the dissolved oxygen. This oxygen is used by aquatic animals for breathing. If nitrates are formed so the concentration of dissolved oxygen will be lowered which causes suffocation and bad impact on marine organisms and the whole ecosystem will be disturbed.
