Explanation

The wings of birds and flying lizards are examples of convergent evolution, where different species evolve similar traits independently, often due to similar environmental pressures.

Explanation

Amphibians can live both in water and on land (e.g., frogs, salamanders).

They typically begin life in water and later adapt to live on land.

Explanation

The symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi on bare rocks, forming a composite organism, is called a lichen. 

Lichens are not single organisms but rather a composite of two: A fungus and an algae or cyanobacteria. 

Explanation

Annelids do have a closed circulatory system, along with other invertebrates and vertebrates

Annelids, like earthworms, have a closed circulatory system.

In annelids, blood is pumped along by muscles in blood vessels.

The blood picks up food molecules from the digestive tract and oxygen from the skin.

It then transports these to the cells of the body. 

Explanation

The ecological role of fungi as decomposers is primarily paralleled by bacteria.

Both fungi and bacteria are essential decomposers in ecosystems,

Breaking down dead organic matter and releasing nutrients back into the environment.

While fungi are known for their ability to decompose complex organic materials like cellulose and lignin

Bacteria also play a crucial role in breaking down a wide range of substances.

Together, they form the core of the decomposition process,

Which is vital for nutrient cycling and maintaining ecosystem health

Explanation

 The group of individuals of the same species living in the same area, whether of the same age or not, is called a population. 

Explanation

Explanation

The word zoology comes from the Greek words "zoon" (meaning animal) and "logos" (meaning study).

So, zoology means the study of animals in Greek origin.

Explanation

The pectoral and pelvic fins are the paired fins in fishes. 

Paired fins:

Fish have two sets of paired fins: pectoral and pelvic. 

Pectoral fins:

These are located on the sides of the fish, and they are used for steering and maneuvering. 

Pelvic fins:

These are located on the ventral (belly) side of the fish, and they help with balance and stability. 

Unpaired fins:

The dorsal, anal and caudal fins are unpaired and situated along the midline of the body. 

Explanation

Continetal Drift theory was proposed by Alfred wegner in 1912.

It stated that continents have changed their position and initially there was only one big continent named Pangea.

Although he was unable to explain the force behind the drifting of continents.
