Answer:

C) convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is a type of pattern of evolution which occurs when the two unrelated species evolves with the same feature or traits as a result of the exposure of the species to the same environmental conditions.

This type of evolution results in ion the formation of the analogous structure which is functionally similar but is evolved from the same ancestor.

In the given question, since the two unrelated species: plants and animals exhibit the same appearance on different geographical areas thus represents that convergent evolution is taking place.

Thus, C) convergent evolution is the correct answer.

Suppose a geneticist isolates two bacteriophage mutants. One mutation causes clear plaques (c), and the other produces minute pl
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The mentioned parental types are c+m- and c-m+. Thus, the recombinants will be c+m+ and c-m-.  

Now, the given distance between c and m is 8 map units. Thus, the recombinant frequency is 8% or 0.08.  

The total recombinants from 1000 plaques will come out to be 80,  

Thus, the recombinants of each type will be 40.  

Total parental type will be 920, and therefore, each parental type count will be 460.  

Thus, expected c+m- = 460, expected c-m+ = 460, expected c+m+ = 40 and expected c-m- = 40.

BigorU [14]

Hey there!

We need to find a common denominator.

5*3= 15

4/5= 12/15

2/3= 10/15

12+10=22

22/15

or

1 7/15

I hope this helps!
