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.

Answer:
1. Insulin resistance and diabetes
2. Metformin
Explanation:
Metformin can be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome, especially for insulin-resistant women (insulin is a hormone that transports sugar into cells).
People with insulin resistance have high levels of this hormone in their blood and excess circulating insulin can aggravate manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome, and also increase the risk of diabetes.
The main benefits of metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovaries is the normalization of menstrual irregularity and the restoration of ovulatory cycles.
Since most women with polycystic ovary syndrome are insulin resistant, metformin is a good treatment option in some cases.
However, the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome should be individualized for each woman, depending on the symptoms presented and the goal to be achieved with the treatment.
<span>Let the equation be : at^2 + bt + c = P,
where t = time (hrs),
P = population (1000's).
When t = 1, P = 3.03.
When t = 2, P = 1.72.
When t = 3, P = 1.17.
Substitute these into the equation to obtain these 3 simultaneous equations :
a + b + c = 3.03
4a + 2b + c = 1.72
9a + 3b = c = 1.17
Solving gives :
a = 0.38,
b = -2.45,
c = 5.1.
The equation is therefore,
P = 0.38t^2 - 2.45t + 5.1
Testing with t = 0 to 6 gives the population values as provided,
so it seems to be a valid model.
At t = 9 hrs,
P = 0.38*9^2 - 2.45*9 + 5.1
= 13.83.</span>
