Answer:

Explanation:

Evolutionary psychology seeks to understand the adaptive, evolved nature of humans by considering the forces of natural selection that gave rise to it. Individual humans also exhibit maladaptation, however, and some of the variation in maladaptive conditions is heritable. An evolutionary perspective can shed light on these phenomena too. Recent work suggests that developmental imprecision importantly affects the fitness of organisms and some of the genetic influences have been identified. Both theory and evidence that developmental imprecision underlies human cognitive maladaptation has begun to accumulate, although the manner in which the developing brain is affected remains largely unknown.

Consider two very distantly related species, Species A and Species B. These species live in distinct but similar environments an

never [62]

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.

1-Paragraph that explains an example of natural selection . (3-5 sentences)

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

In a habitat there are red bugs and green bugs. The birds prefer the taste of the red bugs, so soon there are many green bugs and few red bugs. The green bugs reproduce and make more green bugs and eventually there are no more red bugs.

Why is reabsorption important

harina [27]

<span>The purpose of the kidneys is to filter waste from the blood, and other things like water, glucose, amino acids, some minerals/vitamins, and other small molecules can also get filtered out. Reabsorbtion of water in the kidneys allows the body to maintain a fluid balance (drink a lot and you pee more cause you have an excess of water). As for the other aforementioned things, they're often needed for metabolic processes (such as certain enzyme functions) so loosing it to waste decreases efficiency and efficacy of other bodily processes. </span>
