Tasmanian wolf and placental wolf appear similar due to

A: Placental wolf and Tasmanian wolf (a marsupial) show convergent evolution. R: Like marsupials placental mammals in other parts of world also exhibit adaptive radiation in evolving into varieties of such placental mammals each of which appears to be similar to a corresponding marsupial.

The structural adaptions observed in placental mice, in North America, are very similar in appearance to marsupial mice in Australia. It is an example of

Assertion :- Tasmanian wolf and Placental wolf are the good example of convergent evolution. Reason :- More than one adaptive radiation apperared to have occured in an isolated geographical area, (representing different habitats) one can call this convergent evolution.

A particular species of animals had three coat colors: White, yellow and black. A population of this species in Africa has more number of yellow animals and less number of white and black animals. After hundreds of years, the species evolved having very few yellow animals. The white and black animals were almost similar in quantity. The type of natural selection seen in this example is

Consider the two complexation equilibria in aqueous solution, between the cobalt (II) ion Co^(2+) (aq) and ethylenediamine (en) on the one hand and ammonia NH_(3) on the other. [Co(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)+6NH_(3)hArr[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(2+)+6H_(2)O ...(1) [Co(H_(2)O_(6))]^(2+)+3enhArr[Co(en)_(3)]^(2+)+6H_(2)O ..(2) Electronicaly, the ammonia and en ligands are very similar, since both bond through N and since the liwis base strengths of their nitrogen atoms are similar. This means that DeltaH^(@) must be very similar for the two reactions, since six Co-N bonds are formed in each case. Interestingly however, the equilibrium constant is 100,000 times larger for the second reaction than it is for the first. This is the so called chelate effect: "the enhanced affinity of chelating ligands for a metal ion compared to similar non-chelating (monodentate) ligands for the same metal". The chelate effect is entropy-driven. Q. What may be main reason for reaction (2) having relatively such a large equilibrium constant?

Figure shows a situation similar to the previous problem. All parameters are the same except that a battery of emf epsilon and a variable resistance R are connected between O and C. The connecting wires have zero resistance. No external force is applied on the rod (except gravity, forces by the magnetic field and by the pivot). In what way should the resistance R be changed so that the rod may rotate with uniform angular velocity in the clockwise direction? Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and the angle (theta) made by the rod OA with the horizontal.
