The given statement is True.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Charles Darwin developed the theory called Darwinism theory of evolution. The theory states that all the species of the organisms arises and developed through the small, inherited variations in the organisms that increase the individual ability to complete the survive and reproduce.
The individual species are not having identical traits that are passed from the generation to generation. The offspring are born that can survive, only the survive of the completion for resources will reproduce; he describes how the species can change in shape and character through the selective breeding.
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.
As viruses cannot reproduce by themselves, they depend on the host cells that they infect to reproduce
