Which of the following statements most accurately describes convergent evolution? the process in which two similar species evolve separately from each other and share similar characteristics the process in which a single species evolves into two or more new species the process in which two entirely different species evolve in response to each other the process in which two different species evolve separately from each other but still share similar characteristics

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.

What is a general feature of a species that varies from one individual to the next (skin tone,eye color or hair color)? a.organism b.trait c.character
