I believe it would be polyphyletic.
Polyphyletic groups are formed when two lineages convergently evolve similar character states. Organisms classified into the same polyphyletic group share phenetic homoplasies as opposed to homologies. The key difference between paraphyletic and polyphyletic groups is that paraphyletic contain their common ancestor, whereas polyphyletic groups do not.
The answer is; D
Carbon dioxide and methane are potent greenhouse gases. They cause heating of the lower atmosphere, by trapping sunlight, that results to climate change. Due to the higher melting and boiling temperatures of phosphorus, it is rare that it occurs as gas in room temperatures. Phosphorus, therefore, does not pose a great threat of climate change.
Answer: B. by toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation that can damage the DNA in cells.
Explanation:
The carcinogens presents in cigerates covalently bind to DNA and form DNA adducts which results into miscoding (e.g., insertion of the wrong base) during replication of DNA and this genetic mutation causes uncontrolled cellular growth which causes cancer.
Ionising radiation including X-rays, radioactive particles, and gamma rays,can cause cancer by damaging DNA. high-energy radiation damages DNA and cause genetic mutation same as cigerates and causes cancer.
Both toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation damages DNA inthe cells which leads to cancer.
Hence, the correct option is B.
Answer:
B is most likely used for reproduction.
