How the animals and plants of a healthy ecosystem are organized and interact.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

A healthy ecosystem consists of native plant and animal populations interacting in balance with each other and nonliving things (for example, water and rocks). ... Decomposers break down dead plants and animals, returning vital nutrients to the soil. Plants take up these nutrients, along with water, through their roots.

While distinctly Anthropoids, some Platyrrhines maintain a few of traits that are typically represented only in Prosimians. For

crimeas [40]

Convergent evolution is the concept of two or more species evolving similar traits despite being completely unrelated to one another, including the absence of a common ancestor.

The Platyrrhines, more commonly known as "New World Monkeys", share many characteristics with the Prosimians. Some of these include:

Teeth layout
Diet
Eyesight
Sleeping habits

and more.

The Platyrrhines and the Prosimians are both nocturnal animals. Despite all other members of their family being active during the day, the Playrrhines have evolved nocturnal habits similar to that of the Prosimians. Aside from that, they feed on insects more so than fruit, which is reflected by the layout of their teeth, and have eyesight well adapted to dark conditions. All of these are traits they share with the Prosimians.

Despite being in different ecosystems and regions, and sharing no recent common ancestors, both of these species have evolved strikingly similar traits. This can be used to corroborate the theory of convergent evolution, which explains how two species can evolve very similar traits despite being unrelated.

Although DNA is made up of only four different bases, it can encode the information necessary to specify the workings of an enti

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Because DNA molecules are extremely long.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of only four types of nucleotides that are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. These four types of nucleotide encode all the information necessary for the formation and working of the entire organism because each DNA strand is as long as 2 meter which contains millions of base pairs.

The four nucleotides are arranged in the DNA strand with many different combinations which results in the formation of codons sequence that contains all the information about the cell. This long DNA is compressed several times to fit in the nucleus.
