Question

Two species of different genealogy show resemblance due to similar adaptation. The phenomenon is

• A. Microevolution
• B. Divergent evolution
• C. Coevolution
• D. Convergent evolution

Answer 1

The correct option is D Convergent evolution

Convergent evolution is the development of similar functional structures in unrelated organisms due to similar adaptations.

Divergent evolution is the development of different functional structures in organisms having common ancestor.

Microevolution is the change in allele frequencies over a period of many generations within a population.

Coevolution occurs when two species evolve similar traits independent of each other.
