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.

Over a long period, how might living things adapt to increased carbon dioxide levels and global warming?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Yes. We could be done for if it is anthropogenic and if it is not being caused by CO2 as we are lead to believe. CO2 may not be the only anthropogenic cause (if it is a cause).

If climate change is due to weather engineering by chem trailing in conjunction with ionospheric heating, then it could cause serious illness to our species.

The use of the electro-magnetic spectum and radio waves by ionospheric heaters, could cause genetic damage as well as infertility. Whether other sources of RF/EMF also play into weather manipulation and control is unclear. Whether the use of ionospheric heaters contributes to climate change is unclear, but it intuitively seems likely. Creating a sustaining a plasma in the ionosphere may heat up more than the ionosphere and it may have an impact on the weather.

We do not know what chemicals are being used to obscure the sun, create clouds, perhaps create rain and wind, (nor why) and therefore we do not know if those could also contribute to infertility or genetic damage when they finally wash out of the sky. We do not know if the chemicals can be absorbed through the skin, or what happens to us when we breathe them, or consume them in our drinking water or in the food we eat. Higher levels of certain metals have been measured in the soil after chem trails. It is difficult to know which tests to use to test for all the chemicals which can be used.

<h3>What is pride and how lions behave in social lion group?</h3>
  1. A study showed that most of the lions living and sharing same geographical area have friendly behavior.
  2. Pride is a group of lions in which lions interact with each other and share a close bond and do not accept a stranger.
  3. A pride comprises of total thirty lions at max , above which pride is not a group .
  4. Behavior like liking , meowing is amongst the friendly behavior lion shows towards other lion.
