Answer:
The four- chambered hearts of birds and mammals are best described as <u>homoplasies.</u>
Explanation:
In evolution, homoplasies are the trait shared in different species despite that their ancestors didn't have it at all. In other words, these are traits that can be gained or lost during evolution in different lineages independently. For example, wings of birds and wings of bats do the same function (help in flying) but they were not there in the ancestors so both animals developed these structures independently.
In the given example, birds and mammals have four-chambered heart but their ancestors have 3 chamber hearts. They evolved independently and developed 4 chamber heart. This might be due to several reasons. However, their ancestors didn't have the feature so it is an example of homoplasy.
Answer:
Phylogenetic trees can be described as diagrams which represents the evolutionary histories of organisms. The organisms that share more common traits or functions are more closer to one another in the diagram.
The phylogenetic tree in the above diagram shows that the ancestors of Danes, Chinese and Tibetans carried the regular EPAS1 alleles.
According to the tree, the Chinese are more closer to the Tibetans as they carry the Tibetan EPAS1 alleles which the Danes do not carry.
Answer:
C) Interaction increases the survival and reproductive rates of mutualistic species.
Explanation:
A) Mutualism offer more biodiversity to a community.
Biodiversity is the different species living in one environment. Since mutualism is only involving two species, it wouldn't increase the biodiversity of one ecosystem, making it incorrect.
B) Individuals partaking in a mutualistic relationship relationship are more resistant to parasites.
Mutualism is only benefiting two species, not their immunity to diseases and parasites. These two have no correlation with each other, making it incorrect.
D) Mutualistic interaction lessens competition in communities where it is present.
Since mutualism is only benefiting two species, they have no correlation since the relationship doesn't affect the different species in the environment.
E) Mutualistic relationships allow organisms to synthesize and use energy more efficiently.
Although there could be some relationships involving energy transfer between the species, that would sound more like commensalism or even paratsitism if you think about it. However, it is very uncommon and usually energy has no relationship with species relationships, making it incorrect.
Hope this helps! My deepest apologies if I got in incorrect!
That answer is true because many people believe that bottled water tastes better or it is from a more purified area filled with natural purified water take fiji water as an example
