Answer:

When pollution occurs on land it travels to the waters which causes the pollutants to enter the water. When pollution enters the water, it damages the algae on the coral. It also lowers water quality, smother the coral reefs, and it speeds the growth of the damaging algae. All these make the coral reefs more susceptible to disease which stops the reefs growth and reproduction.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is convergent evolution.

Explanation:

The wings of bats, butterflies, and most birds are the example of analogous structure. Analogous structures are the structures which are similar in appearance and function but have separate evolutionary origin.

They are similar superficially because they experienced a natural selection that evolved them to have that shape which helps them to fly. Analogous structures are produced due to convergent evolution.  

Convergent evolution describes the presence of the same trait in unrelated species. Therefore the correct answer is convergent evolution.

Why are fungi fossils so rare?
Volgvan
The reason as to why fungi fossils seem so rare is that they are usually microscopic and often difficult or impossible to identify. Not much information on fungi fossils has been documented. This could be because fungi fruiting bodies consist of soft, fleshy and easily degradable tissues which due to their poor integrity do not keep or preserve as well as animal tissue. Even when available, it takes a trained eye to recognize fungal fossils. Not many people have the training and expertise to recognize the fossils.
