Question

12 multiple choice 1 point convergent evolution results in: shared traits from a common ancestor analogous structures vestigial traits homologous structures

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is when different species independently evolve similar traits due to similar environmental pressures. Analogous structures are traits that have similar functions but different evolutionary origins. For example, the wings of a bat (mammal) and the wings of a butterfly (insect) are analogous. They both allow for flight (similar function) but evolved separately. Shared traits from a common ancestor (homologous structures) are from divergent evolution. Vestigial traits are remnants of structures that had a function in an ancestor but are reduced or non - functional now. So, convergent evolution results in analogous structures.

Answer:

B. Analogous structures
