Answer:
The right answer to this question is option D. Convergent evolution.
Explanation:
Convergent evolution is a process defined by when an organism develops the same, or at least near that, characteristics, for a specific reason, but they don't have the same origin. In this case, the cacti in both deserts have pretty much the same characteristics, and this happens because both these plants need water to survive, and in order to save it, they have barrel-shaped stems, short-lived leaves, and spines. All of these things help them in saving the water and capturing it when it's possible.
The convergent evolution is when both these organisms develop equally, but are not originally from the same place, the environment being the one to shape this.

<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological.
For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options.
A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water.
* Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice.
A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
* Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice.
A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation.
* Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice.
A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process.
* Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
Black B is dominant over chestnut color b and trotting gait T is dominant over pacing gait t. The answer is 100%. Since all offspring have at least one dominant black hair allele that overwhelms the brown hair allele, all offspring are expected to have black hair.
Phenotype refers to the physical color of a horse's coat or the way genes are expressed. Phenotype II FMF in Familial Mediterranean Fever is the onset of amyloidosis prior to the onset of his FMF with typical attacks or is an isolated finding in members of the FMF family.
White horses have pink skin. White fur mane tail, and hooves. and dark brown eyes. White is the dominant trait W at the white locus. White horse genotype must be heterozygous dominant We. Homozygous dominant because WW is more likely to cause early embryonic loss. Scientists conclude that horses were first domesticated 6,000 years ago in the western part of the Eurasian steppe, in what is now western Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
