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.
Answer: b. Webbed-toed mice survived better and reproduced more than mice without webbed toes.
Explanation:
Natural selection is a phenomenon that suggests that organisms that have a better structural and morphological advantage over the others have better chances of survival over the others.
The webbed toed mice have a survival advantage over the without the webbed toes because this can help the webbed toed mice to swim. The webbed toed trait will be beneficial and passed on to the next generation of the mice and the webbed toed mice will reproduce more than the mice without webbed toes.
Answer:
IgE
Explanation:
Immunoglobulins can be described as antibodies that are found in blood and other bodily fluids of humans and other vertebrate animals. And their major function is that they help identify and destroy foreign substances such as microbes such as bacteria and protozoan parasites.
They are known to be produced by produced by plasma cells (white blood cells).
Immunoglobulins are classified into five categories: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM. And are distinguished by the type of heavy chain they contain. IgG molecules possess heavy chains known as γ-chains; IgMs have μ-chains; IgAs have α-chains; IgEs have ε-chains; and IgDs have δ-chains.
In this case, IgE is the immunoglobulin that attach to and sensitize mast cells and basophils.
