Vedclass · Answer

(A) Convergent evolution is the process whereby organisms not closely related independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.This process results in the development of analogous organs,which are structures that perform similar functions but have different evolutionary origins and underlying anatomical structures.For example,the wings of butterflies and birds are analogous structures that evolved independently for flight.Therefore,convergent evolution is associated with analogous organs.
