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.

How does elevation affect climate?
postnew [5]

Altitude affects weather determines how dense the air is and how much heat energy the air can hold.

Option C is the correct one.

<h3>What is the relationship between authority and climate?</h3>

The relationship between climate and altitude is manifested through variations in atmospheric pressure and temperature. Although higher locations are closer to the sun, they tend to receive less heat, becoming colder, in addition to having a smaller thermal amplitude (temperature variation).

With this information, we can conclude that Higher elevations cause temperatures to drop because the higher up in the atmosphere you go the colder it gets due to air pressure in turn causing precipitation to freeze creating snow.

At the boundary of every cell, the __________ functions as a selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrien
Vinil7 [7]
The cell membrane functions as a selective barrier. We call these kind of membranes as differentially permeable or semi permeable membrane. It can decide what substances can pass in and out. Therefore it can surround the cytoplasm (which is the inside of a cell) to separate the cell's content from the surroundings.
