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.

 <span>I would say "Convergent evolution." Two types of organisms have converged (after perhaps separating) into a common way of life, from varying circumstances</span>

How many different types of covalent bonds can 2 carbon atoms form with one another
svetoff [14.1K]
<h2>Answer</h2>

Three types of covalent bonds, they can form

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Carbon has four valence electrons in the outer shell but it forms three covalent bonds with another carbon atom. i.e Single bond, double bond and triple bond.

  • The single bond is called Alkanes e.g. Methane, Propane etc.
  • Double bonds are called alkenes e.g. Ethylene, Propylene etc.
  • Triple bonds are called alkynes e.g. Ethyne, Propyne, Butyne etc.

1.what are the characteristics of bacteria
qwelly [4]
#1: Bacteria are like eukaryotic cells in that they have cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane. Features that distinguish a bacterial cell from a eukaryotic cell include the circular DNA of the nucleoid, the lack of membrane-bound organelles, the cell wall of peptidoglycan, and flagella. #2: Archaea have more complex RNA polymerases than Bacteria, similar to Eucarya. Unlike bacteria, archaea cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan. Archaea have different membrane lipid bonding from bacteria and eukarya. There are genetic differences. #10: Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes). They can exist as single cells, in pairs, chains or clusters. #12: Bacteria reproduce .In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates). Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell. #13: Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease. ... One of the bacterial diseases with the highest disease burden is tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which kills about 2 million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply.Pathogenic microbes challenge the immune system in many ways. Viruses make us sick by killing cells or disrupting cell function. #14: Antibiotics work by affecting things that bacterial cells have but human cells don't. For example, human cells do not have cell walls, while many types of bacteria do. The antibiotic penicillin works by keeping a bacterium from building a cell wall. HOPE I HELPED I Don’t NO #11
