Answer:

The correct answer is a. divergent evolution.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution leads to the evolution of different species which becomes dissimilar to each other due to evolutionary change. The change may occur due to change in their environment and niche. Species originated from divergent evolution have the same common ancestor.

Divergent evolution results in homologous structures for example animals like mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians are evolved from a common ancestor and have homologous structure as 5 digits pentadactyle limbs.

So humans also have 5 digits pentadactyle limbs and elephants also have 5 digits pentadactyle limbs which is an example of divergent evolution.  

Therefore, the correct answer is a. divergent evolution .

Answer:

Capsule

Explanation:

In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.

The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.

In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.

Thus, the capsule is correct.
