Biology

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.

Some slime molds have some morphological similarities to fungi such as during times of stress they will develop into fruiting bo
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option - D.

Explanation:

Slime moulds are the fungus-like protists which bear a structure called sporangium which produces spores.  The sporangium is produced in fungi as well due to which these protists are called fungus-like.  Although both produce sporangium but they are not closely related, rather they are distantly related organisms.

The appearance of a sporangium in both indicates that they had faced the same conditions due to which they both showed the same adaptation by producing the same structures performing the same function. In evolutionary terms, this is an example of convergent evolution.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.
