question 1
wings on birds and bats are an example of
○ homoplasy.
○ homology.
○ anagenesis.
○ cladogenesis.
Brief Explanations
Homoplasy refers to the presence of similar traits in organisms not due to common - ancestry but rather to convergent evolution. Birds and bats are not closely related, but their wings evolved independently for flight, which is an example of homoplasy. Homology implies traits are similar due to common ancestry. Anagenesis is the evolution of a species over time. Cladogenesis is the splitting of a lineage into two or more.
