Answer to Question 1

In similar conditions, multiple evolutionary heritages may develop similar beneficial adaptations. These accumulated adaptations result in organisms that appear superficially similar, despite having descended from different ancestors. For example, sharks (fish), icthyosaurs (reptiles), penguins (birds), and dolphins (mammals) have evolved similar shapes that help them swim quickly and efficiently.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
