Body parts of unrelated organisms that serve the same function are examples of convergent evolution.
<span>Convergent evolution is the phenomenon when the different species independently create similar features. Those features can be structures that have similar form or function. This happens because organisms have been adapted to similar environments or ecological niches.</span>
A. prevent cross-contamination.
Answer: D. Organisms that reproduce asexually create a large amount of offspring in a short period of time in order to maintain their population.
Explanation:
When an organism is able to reproduce asexually as opposed to sexually, it means that they do not require a mate to make offspring. Offspring of such organisms will therefore receive all their genes from one source.
Such organisms are able to reproduce very fast when they are presented with adequate conditions especially because they do not need another organism to do so. They will neither have to waste much energy nor have to go through the whole sexual process so they will be able to produce lots of offspring.
