Answer:
Not only is water necessary for the physical survival of humans, but many, if not most, human activities also make use of it. Agriculture is critically dependent upon continual supplies of freshwater. Human households also use freshwater daily for cleaning and laundry as well as for transporting sewage to waste treatment plants.
<span>Natural selection is likely when there are stronger selection pressures. For example, a perpetual selection pressure is the fact that organisms have to compete for food and resources, meaning the best adapted ones survive. However, a stronger selection pressure may cause natural selection to occur more obviously. An example of this is when the number of white peppered moths decreased during industrialization in England due to the soot collecting on the trees. The change in population was very fast and obvious.</span>
The answer is : A compound light microscope has much greater magnification power than a dissecting microscope. Compound Microscopes have greater magnifications, but lower resolutions than the Dissecting microscopes. Compound light microscopes are usually used to view things that are too little to see with the naked eye.
A result of convergent evolution are the webbed feet of ducks and frogs.
Explanation:
The evolution of the animals, or rather the development of adaptive features, works in very interesting manner. It is very common in nature that animals that are closely related do not share similar characteristics, or the opposite, animals that are not closely related but share similar characteristics. The later case, is referred to as convergent evolution, where totally different animals have developed the same or very similar characteristics in order to be better suited for their environment.
In this case we have the ducks and frogs, and the webbed feet as shared adaptations, or feature. The ducks are birds, while the frogs are amphibians, and their last common ancestor has lived hundreds of millions of years ago. Despite that, both animals have developed webbed feet, and the reason for this has been that both animals have faced the same challenge, swimming and diving, and the webbed feet help them to be much faster and more agile in the water.
Other examples of convergent evolution (in the present and in the past) are:
- Hyena - Tasmanian devil
- Sandy cat - Fenec fox
- Smilodon - Thylacosmilus
- Bats - Birds
