You are a scientist who notices great similarity between the spines of a hedgehog and the spines of a porcupine. When you study

their genetics, however, you notice that the set of genes that code for hedgehog spines is a different set of genes than the set that codes for porcupine spines. You decide this must be an example of______________.a. convergent evolutionb. divergent evolutionc. coalescent evolutiond. unifying evolution

Answer:

The correct option is <em>A. convergent evolution</em>

Explanation:

The phenomenon of evolution explains how different species might have common ancestors. This phenomenon explains that genetic variations might have led to the birth of different species from a common ancestor.

Convergent evolution can be described as a type of evolution in which similar features or traits can be observed in organisms although they may not have any genetic sequence in common. For example, sharks and dolphins look similar but they have huge differences in their genomes.

leva [86]
Galileo preformed a famous experiment where he used a ball rolling on a ramp (inclined plane) to study the motion of objects under the influence of gravity. The ramp allowed him to make more precise measurements because the ball moved more slowly along the ramp than if it were simply dropped. Galileo discovered through this experiment that the objects fell with the same acceleration, proving his prediction true, while at the same time disproving Aristotle's theory of gravity (which states that objects fall at speed proportional to their mass). Galileo's conclusion from this thought experiment was that no force is needed to keep an object moving with constant velocity. Newton took this as his first law of motion. One result of the experiment surprised Galileo, and one surprises us. Galileo found that the heavy ball hit the ground first, but only by a little bit. Except for a small difference caused by air resistance, both balls reached nearly the same speed. And that surprised him.

According to history, Galileo’s experiment on falling bodies largely contributed to Isaac Newton’s Law of Gravity. In Galileo’s experiment, he is said to have dropped balls from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The balls were made of the same material but had different masses. Galileo set out to prove that the time it took for these objects to reach the ground would be the same. Galileo proved that objects reached the ground at the same time,
