Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Species in widely separated but similar biomes often appear to display similar characteristics because of <u>convergent evolution.</u>

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is called the evolutionary process from which two types of organisms totally unrelated to each other evolve to similar structures (they are morphologically similar as a whole or in parts) for a purpose, that is, they have adapted to means or similar ecological niches. Convergent evolution is manifested by the presence of similar or equal structures in species that belong to different evolutionary lines (they do not share a common ancestor).

Which of the following statements is true about Tiktaalik?
yawa3891 [41]

Tiktaalik is a transitional fossil which shows how fish evolved into amphibians and reptiles. So the correct option is B.

What is Tiktaalik?

Tiktaalik is a direct ancestor of tetrapods or four-legged animals. It is an extinct fish-like animal and it lived on earth 380-385 million years ago (Devonian period).

The word Tiktaalik is derived from the <em>Inuktitut</em> language which loosely translates to large freshwater fish. This animal had characteristics of both fish and tetrapod and is therefore called the link between these two kinds of animals.

The characters resembling fish are gills and scales and the characters resembling tetrapods are rib bones, movable neck and lungs. There are characters that are a mix of both tetrapods and fish. These are bones and joints in limbs but fish-like fins instead of feet or hands.
