Answer from: alanahjones63

Mimicry is the art of resembling between one organism and another. Mimicry may evolve between different species.

Mimicry is an evolutionary trait that is seen in birds, butterflies, and insects. Coevolution may lead to adaptation of the same properties. Mimicry can be visual, tactile, and acoustic. Maybe advantageous for both organisms to share the same pattern that provides them a selective advantage. A mimicry like that in stick insect that is endemic to the Australian eucalyptus tree can help it protect itself from predators and hence coevolve.

Hence the coevolution can lead to mimicry and coexistence also known as mutualism.

Co-evolution would cause mimicry in case where there is probability of an species to survive just by mimicking the co-evolving species

Explanation:

Co evolution causes simultaneous evolution of organisms that are intimitate ecologically. For example – all organism that exhibit prey and predator are influenced by each other’s evolution and hence it is said that they co-evolve.

For instance –

Parasites such as cuckoos and cowbirds mimic their hosts. These parasites have evolved to produce eggs that are similar in appearance to that of host birds so that the predators could not distinguish between the two different types of egg.

Thus co-evolution would cause mimicry in case where there is probability of an species to survive just by mimicking the co-evolving species

Answer from: Quest

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

Answer from: Quest

It would be c. because they are the same species. the definition for genus is a principal taxonomic category that ranks above species and below family, and is denoted by a capitalized latin name
