Question

butterfly wings and bird wings both enable the organism to take flight. each are thought to have developed independently. what type of evolution was described in the first sentence?
convergent evolution
coevolution
no evolution
divergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution occurs when different organisms independently evolve similar traits to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches. Butterfly wings and bird wings, which developed independently but serve the same function of flight, are an example of this. Co - evolution involves the reciprocal evolution of two or more species. Divergent evolution is when related species become more different over time. Since they developed similar traits independently for the same function, it's convergent evolution.

Answer:

A. Convergent evolution
