homoplasy is:
shared ancestry
traits due to common environment, not genetics
chromosome duplication
mutation in alleles

Explanation:

Homoplasy refers to traits that are similar in different organisms but not due to shared ancestry (which would be homology). Instead, they arise from convergent evolution (similar environmental pressures) or other non - genetic - inheritance - based reasons. Shared ancestry is homology. Chromosome duplication and mutation in alleles are genetic - level events not related to the definition of homoplasy.

Answer:

Traits due to common environment, not genetics
