Answer:

convergent evolution

Explanation:

If we have two species that share a similar trait or look alike a lot, but they live in places isolated from each other, and they only have a very distant relation, then it is a case of convergent evolution. This type of evolution occurs with species that are not closely related, but they live in environments where having the same or very similar traits is advantageous. This can often lead to a confusion when looking at the species only on the outside, and it can be very misleading. As an example we can take the sabretoothed predators that existed in the past. Both the smiloden and the thylacosmilus had large saber like teeth, and even their bodies looked very similar, so one would assume that they are closely related, but that was not the case. The smilodon was part of the cat family, while the thylacosmilus was a marsupial, making them very distantly related. They developed same same and some very similar traits because their environment created the evolutionary pressure for those traits to develop as they were advantageous, despite them evolving in totally different places and separately.

What allows for some substances to be reabsorbed and others to leak from the tubule in the enthrone?
MAXImum [283]
The right answer is <span>A) semi-permeable membrane

<span>A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane permeable to a liquid (solvent) and impermeable (or poorly permeable) to substances dissolved in the liquid (solute).

</span>The tubule of a kidney consists of a semi-permeable membrane and has also specific transporters which allow absorption and reabsorption. These "tools" allows some substances like ions to be absorbed/reabsorbed (by the transporters), without any changes in the concentration of the other substances (because both the membrane and the transporters stopped them).</span>

A laboratory study may help you to determine the location of your visual blind spot, but you will not notice it outside of the l
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

blind spot will not impair your vision

Explanation:

Blind spot may be defined as the point of our eyes where the optic nerve leaves our eye, which creates a "blind" spot as none of the receptor cells are located there.

A blind spot can only be studies in a laboratory because blind spot does not impair our vision. The blind spot falls on nose side of our retina, that means that the objects to our right side falls on the right eye's blind spot and objects to our left may fall on the left eye's blind spot. Thus, the blind spot  normally does not impair our vision, since our eyes are moving and because our one eye catches what the other eye misses.
