Elephant fingers and human fingers are probably the result of
a. divergent evolution
b. disruptive evolution
c. convergent evolution
d. lamarckian evolution

The correct answer is a. divergent evolution.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution leads to the evolution of different species which becomes dissimilar to each other due to evolutionary change. The change may occur due to change in their environment and niche. Species originated from divergent evolution have the same common ancestor.

Divergent evolution results in homologous structures for example animals like mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians are evolved from a common ancestor and have homologous structure as 5 digits pentadactyle limbs.

So humans also have 5 digits pentadactyle limbs and elephants also have 5 digits pentadactyle limbs which is an example of divergent evolution.  

Therefore, the correct answer is a. divergent evolution .

succession returns a disturbed

ecosystem to a more stable state. this is also classified into two (2) types:

primary succession and secondary succession. the primary succession arises when

a new land is transformed and a bare rock has been exposed providing an environment

that can be occupied for the first time. while, secondary succession occurs

when a previously occupied environment was disturbed that kills much of all its

community

the correct answer is d
