Members of the plant family cactaceae (cacti) are native to the americas and thrive in dry environments. they have a number of specialized adaptations, including reduced leaves, succulent (fleshy) stems for water storage, and spines for defense against herbivores. some members of the family euphorbiaceae are native to africa and resemble cacti, having similarly reduced leaves, succulent stems, and thorns. however, their common ancestor likely did not have these traits. based on this information, what can you say about the morphological traits of cactaceae and euphorbiaceae indicated above?

Their morphology evolved in separate places and times, being a convergency.

Explanation:

When two species have similar characteristics but are not inherited from a common ancestor, it means that there was a convergence where the two species happened to have the same external conditions so they adapted to, in this case, dry habitats.

it's the release of intestinal gas, which forms as a result of digesting food. when partially digested carbs reach the colon, bacteria convert part of that food into hydrogen and carbon dioxide gasses. you cant stop the stink, its a gas that comes naturally.
