The answer to this question is 'convergent evolution'. Basically, this is when species of different lineages independently evolve similar functional features.
Development of wings is a classic example as this has independently evolved in insects, birds, pterosaurs, and bats.

While Acid fast bacteria retain carbol fuchsin after acid-alcohol treatment, non- Acid fast bacteria are decolorized by acid-alcohol.
Bacteria of genus mycobacterium are best stained using acid-fast method. A mixture of Phenol and fuchsin is carbol fuchsin. In acid-slcohol, acid is hydrochloric acid.

Describe different ways that cell shape can be modified so that diffusion rate will be increased

ahrayia [7]

In order to increase the rate of diffusion of materials in and out of the cell, the following modification can be done to the cell:
1. the shape of the cell can be changed to one that has high surface area to volume ration, for example sphere.
2.The cell can also divide into two in order to increase the surface area to volume ratio.

Within an infected wound bed, many cell types are involved in protecting the host and eliminating the "foreign invaders" to prom

Oxana [17]

Explanation:

All vital organs begin to lose some functionality as one ages during adulthood. Aging changes occur in all cells, tissues and organs of the body and affect the functioning of all body systems.

The living tissue is made up of cells. There are many different types of cells, but they all have the same basic structure. Tissues are layers of similar cells that fulfill a specific function. Different types of tissues group together to form organs.

There are four basic types of tissue:

The connective tissue supports the other tissues and joins them. This includes bone, blood and lymphatic tissue, in addition to the tissues that provide support and structure to the skin and internal organs.

The epithelial tissue provides coverage for the superficial and deeper layers of the body. The skin and lining of the ducts inside the body, such as the gastrointestinal system, are made of epithelial tissue.

Muscle tissue includes three types of tissue:

Striated muscles, such as those that move the skeleton (also called voluntary muscles)

Smooth muscles (also called involuntary muscles), such as the contents in the stomach and other internal organs

Myocardium, which makes up most of the wall of the heart (also an involuntary muscle)

Nervous tissue is composed of nerve cells (neurons) and is used to carry messages to and from different parts of the body. The brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves are composed of nerve tissue.

irinina [24]

When faced with a complex engineering problem, the best strategy usually involves( A ) Breaking the problem down into smaller problems and solving them individually.

Explanation:

Th first step of solving a complex problem involves problem identification-it means what exactly is the problem then we try to determine the possible sub-groups in which the problem can be further divided and then numbering the sub groups.

The process of sub-grouping means that we are sub dividing the problems and then working upon the problem that needs the attention first and then according solving the other sub categories of the problem.

This method helps in breaking the complex problem into a series of small task that can be easily solved in a sequential manner .Thus the complexity of the problem gets reduced when it is divided into a number of small problems.
