Question
Chapter 41.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether an extensive surface area is important only for animals, or it also provides advantages to other living organisms.
Introduction: The folds, convolutions, or extensions overcome the challenge to pack the extensive surface area in a confined space. For example, in human intestine finger-like extensions, villi increase the surface area for absorption of food.

Sugar gliders and Northern flying squirrels are mammals that have many morphological similarities despite being genetically different. Both are nocturnal and have large eyes to help them see in the dark. Both live in trees and have flaps of skin connecting their front and back legs, and when their front and back legs are extended, the flaps allow the animals to glide from one tree branch to another. Sugar gliders are native to Australia, and Northern flying squirrels are native to North America.
Which of the following best explains the morphological similarities between these two species?
a.The similarities in traits indicate the species are the result of divergent evolution from a common ancestor that had the same traits that these two species share.
b.The two species evolved as the result of two separate bottleneck events that reduced the existing populations to a few individuals who happened to have the same traits.
c.The…

If the parks have an Achilles heel, it is that they have fixed geographical positions, just in the way that Yellowstone National Park is at a fixed geographical location. Suppose that a certain endangered species of fish exists only in a marine park. If the ocean temperature rises in the park because of global warming, explain what physiological problems the species of fish might confront. How might the species face a brighter future if parks could have moveable boundaries rather than fixed ones?arrow_forward
