Convergent evolution produces
- A
Different traits in unrelated species due to similar selection pressures (e.g., wings in birds and insects)
- B
Similar traits in closely related species due to shared ancestry (e.g., wings in birds and insects)
- C
Identical traits in distantly related species due to genetic exchange (e.g., wings in birds and insects)
- Dcheck_circle
Similar traits in unrelated species due to similar selection pressures (e.g., wings in birds and insects)
Explanation
Analogous structures arise independently from similar environmental pressures, even though species don't share a recent common ancestor for that trait.
