Question

convergent evolution results in similar structures in distantly related species due to similar environmental pressures directing natural selection. which of these characteristics of sharks (fishes) and dolphins (mammals) are due to convergent evolution? drag the convergent evolution characteristics onto the image of both species. use gills to breathe streamlined body made up of eukaryotic cells predator belong to the class mammalia dorsal fins and flippers

Explanation:

Convergent evolution produces similar traits in distantly related species due to similar environmental pressures. Sharks (fish) and dolphins (mammals) live in aquatic environments, so traits like streamlined body (for efficient swimming) and dorsal fins and flippers (for movement/ stability in water) are due to convergent evolution. "Use gills" is unique to sharks, "Mammalia" to dolphins, "eukaryotic cells" is universal, "predator" is not structural from environment.

Answer:

The characteristics due to convergent evolution are: streamlined body, dorsal fins and flippers.
