As there are no answer choices, I'm going to answer this just based off my knowledge
Analogous structures suggest convergent evolution because they have both evolved from a set of species but for different reasons and from different causes.
<u>Answer:</u>
Limited resources contribute to evolutionary change in animals by increasing Intra-specific competition.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Intra-specific competition means competition among the members of same species.
- Individual of same species have same ecological niche i.e. how an organism is related with biotic and abiotic aspect of environment.
- So they require same resources of their survival. When population of any species increases then there is high chance of intra-specific competition because of limited resources.
- Intra-specific competition also determine the population size of species. For example, competition among shark rodents.
Answer:
(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.
Explanation:
The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.
