6 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "streamlined bodies in dolphins and ichthyosaurs".

Explanation:

An homoplasy is defined as a trait that is shared between two different species but that they do not originate from a common ancestor. An example of homoplasy is the streamlined bodies in dolphins and ichthyosaurs. Ichthyosaurs were reptiles, not mammals like modern dolphins, therefore their similar streamlined bodies evolved separately.

What are growth and decay formulas
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Exponential Growth: y = a(1 + r)x

Exponential Decay: y = a(1 - r)x

Explanation:

Remember that the original exponential formula was y = abx.

You will notice that in these new growth and decay functions,

the b value (growth factor) has been replaced either by (1 + r) or by (1 - r).

The growth "rate" (r) is determined as b = 1 + r.

The decay "rate" (r) is determined as b = 1 - r
