Answer:

Option A , Convergent Evolution

Explanation:

In a convergent evolution, similar characteristics or traits develop in species belonging to different race or ancestry groups.  

As in this case , Earthworms are invertebrates while caecilians are amphibians but they both have the ability to burrow, have slender long body and also live in similar habitat (i.e moist soil) . Both the species (i.e earthworm and  caecilians) have different origination but they have adopted similar characteristics/traits.  

Hence,  option A is correct.

Why is dna replication said to be semi-conservative
Neko [114]

During DNA Replication, the DNA molecule unzips itself so that there are two free strands of DNA. Both of those strands then create new complementary strands of DNA. Thus every subsequent generation of DNA uses one of the parent cell's strand of DNA as a template, which is why DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative. Hope this helped!

What is the difference between eukaryote and prokaryote
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Prokaryotes are organisms that consist of a single prokaryotic cell. Eukaryotic cells are found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists. They range from 10–100 μm in diameter, and their DNA is contained within a membrane-bound nucleus. Eukaryotes are organisms containing eukaryotic cells.
