The fact that fish, penguins, and dolphins all have the same basic shape is best explained by which of the following?

a) the basic shapes of fish, penguins, and dolphins are vestigial structures.

b) fish, penguins, and dolphins all faced the same physical constraints during their evolution andconverged upon the same body plan.

c) divergent evolution and adaptive radiation into new niches often result in convergent evolution.

d) the similarities are probably due to random chance.

e) parallel evolution is common among aquatic mammals

I would say it is E.

Explanation:

because fish, penguins, and dolphins are aquatic animals. It can't be A. because if it were vestigial it would be useless. It can't be B even though it does seem like the right answer because the are all aquatic. It can't be C. because it would been that the same species would have the same niche which is not possible. It can't be D. because every organism is evolved from a common ancestor.

B) Fish, penguins, and dolphins all faced the same physical constraints during their evolution and converged upon the same body plan

Explanation:

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.  

c: warm water flows from the western tropical pacific toward south america. that should be the right answer! hope it .
