Which is NOT an example of homoplasious characters? A) More than one of these. Bats and birds are both monophyletic groups with wings. Many species of insects, amphibians, and fish have evolved red and yellow warning coloration to advertise their poisonous skin or organs. D Sharks and dolphins have fins and fuselage-shaped bodies, despite sharing a distant common ancestor. E The amniotic egg is a synapomorphy of terrestrial vertebrates, but has been lost in many groups.

Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.
