Consider two very distantly related species, Species A and Species B. These species live in distinct but similar environments and share a trait that improves their survival and reproduction in their respective environments. Which of the following is the most likely reason that Species A and Species B share this trait?
convergent evolution

convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is a process of evolutionary change that occurs when two different species, which are unrelated or do not share a common ancestral origin, evolve similar structures independently to become well adapted to their environments which are similar or have the same environmental conditions prevalent in them.

Convergent evolution is the opposite of divergent evolution. Organisms with different ancestral origin develop similar features and structures independently as a result of adaptation to similar environmental conditions. These structures are said to be analogous structures.

Examples of convergent evolution can be seen in hummingbird and the hummingbird moth, the streamline body shape of dolphins, etc.

Therefore, the most likely reason that species A and species B, that are unrelated, share similar trait but live in distinct environments that are similar is convergent evolution.

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.
