One of the authors of the study, Mark C. Mescher, said that, “One of the interesting things we found was that the plants make choices.” Even more fascinating is the choice of their host plant made by the dodder is essential to their survival. A majority of the time, when given the choice, the dodder will choose a tomato plant over a wheat plant as its preferred host. This is most interesting because wheat plants are a poor host because they lack a plentiful variety of nutrients. It is harder for a dodder plant that is attached to a wheat plant to survive than it is for a dodder attached to a nutrient-rich tomato plant (5). So not only does a dodder plant have the ability to choose between a number of potential hosts, the majority of the time it will also choose the plant that will better its chances for survival.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Nephrons in birds, mammals, and reptiles are all extremely similar, more so than other structures in the bodies of different species, solidifying the relatedness through similarity.

Explanation:

Birds can be said to have "mammal-like" nephrons from the number of loops and overall structure of their kidneys, which, although they look very different, serve the same purpose and do it in largely the same way. Reptiles also have mammal-like nephrons, and it can be assumed that this evolutionary trait was kept because the specific structure of the nephrons is generally the most efficient.

Ganezh [65]
External respiration (correct answer) involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the environment.

The exchange of wastes through the skin is just called excretion by sweating. 

There is no exchange of nutrients that occur in the lungs but rather absorption of nutrients is the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the cell is called cellular respiration and involves carrying oxygen from the blood to the cell then the cell uses it as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. The metabolic wastes of the cell, primarily carbon dioxide, goes now to the bloodstream to be exchanged for oxygen in the lungs.
