Question
convergent evolution produces structures that are
○ homologous.
● analogous.
○ convergent.
○ none of these
Brief Explanations
Convergent evolution is when different species independently evolve similar traits due to similar environmental pressures. The resulting structures, which have similar functions but different evolutionary origins, are called analogous structures. Homologous structures have a common evolutionary origin but may have different functions. "Convergent" is not the term for the structures themselves.
