Which of the following examples describes convergent evolution?
topjm [15]

Answer: Option E (B and D are the only examples.

Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.

Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.

Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.

What led to scientists accepting Mendel's ideas?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

A. Scientists discovered chromosomes and DNA.

Explanation:

Mendel's ideas were based on patterns of inheritance in plants. Although he identified these patterns, at the time, we did not know what the hereditary material was. This means Mendel couldn't uncover the mechanism of why he was seeing the patterns he was.

When scientists discovered chromosomes and DNA, they were able to see how Mendel's observations made sense in the context of DNA and chromosomes.

Punnett squares are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offsprin
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 2 in 4.

According to the question Xo and XO show codominance and express themselves completely when present in heterozygous condition. Cats bearing XoXO show patchwork of black and orange fur and are called tortoiseshell cats.

Xo codes for orange color fur and XO codes for black color fur. In addition, Y chromosome does not contain any gene associated with fur color.

Now, genotype of mother cat is XOXO (orange fur). So, the gametes formed would be XO only.

The genotype of father cat is XoY(black fur). So, the gametes would be Xo and Y.

The cross would lead to the formation of two male cats each having XOY as their genotype and two female cats each with XOXo as their genotype.

Hence, both the male cats would show orange fur and both the female cats would show patchwork of orange and black fur.

Therefore, we can conclude that 2 out of 4 would exhibit tortoiseshell coloring.
