The answer is convergent evolution. 


<span>A convergent evolution is a phenomenon of independent evolution of similar traits in species that are in different lineages. These traits are called analogues structures. They are similar in form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those species. So, t</span><span>he appendages of cockroaches and turtles are analogues structures with the similar function - creeping movements, and they are the result of the convergent evolution.</span>

C. Read the hypotheses below, and identify the
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Independent variable: Salinity/Salt concentration

Dependent variable: hatching rate

Explanation:

As rightly stated in this question, INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, in an experiment, is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a measurable response while the DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the variable that the experimenter measures in an experiment. Dependent variable as the name implies is dependent on the independent variable.

In this question where an hypothesis was given as follows: "Hatching brine shrimp is related to salinity (how salty the water is), then the greater the salt concentration, the higher the hatching rate". The hypothesis relates the independent and dependent variables i.e. it tells us how the independent variable affects the dependent variable.

Hence, according to the hypothesis, it is telling us how a change in SALINITY OR SALT CONCENTRATION will affect HATCHING RATE. Therefore;

Independent variable: SALINITY/SALT CONCENTRATION

Dependent variable: HATCHING RATE

How is negative feedback related to homeostasis
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Negative feedback occurs when a system's output acts to reduce or dampen the processes that lead to the output of that system, resulting in less output. In general, negative feedback loops allow systems to self-stabilize. Negative feedback is a vital control mechanism for the body's homeostasis.
