Answer:

Explanation:

Due to the Sun's massive size, its large gravitational pull causes the planets and other objects in the solar system to orbit around it. In orbit around the Sun are the eight planets along with their moons, dwarf planets and many much smaller objects like asteroids and comets.

Its gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything – from the biggest planets to the smallest particles of debris – in its orbit. The connection and interactions between the Sun and Earth drive the seasons, ocean currents, weather, climate, radiation belts and auroras.

What is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions?
Dmitry [639]
An electronic cardiac monitor is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions. While a person is performing chest compressions on a patient, he or she is hooked up to the electronic cardiac monitor so that the doctor can see exactly how fast the patient's heart is pumping blood. Cardiac monitoring is the best method do assess this.

Answer:

Adaptations to a common environment and examples of convergent evolution

Explanation:  

Convergent evolution is a process by which two independent and phylogenetically separated organisms, get to develop similar structures or behavior to survive. These structures make possible a better performance in a similar environment. These organisms are morphologically or ethologically similar in their whole bodies or just in parts.  

Convergent evolution occurs in different phylogenetic branches independently from each other. It results from the need of different organisms to adapt to a similar environment and to solve a problem from that particular ecological niche. Ecological pressures acting on them might be similar, modeling the organisms´ phenotype. Each evolutive branch ends by developing the same structures, which they both find effective in their environment.  

In the exposed example, Ichthyosaurs (reptile) and fishes are separated species on evolutive time, corresponding to different phylogenetic lineages. Both of them inhabit the same aquatic environment. Pressures of the habitat acted on them and modeling their phenotypes. These species need to adapt to living in water, moving, feeding, scaping, chasing, etc. So both species arrived at the same solution. They developed dorsal fins and tails, which are important to stabilize the body in the water while swimming, making it more hydrodynamic and getting to propel better.
