Give differences : Divergent Evolution and Convergent Evolution
Divergent Evolution | Convergent Evolution |
$(1)$ Development of different functional structures from a common ancestral form is called divergent evolution. | $(1)$ Development of similar adaptive functional structures in unrelated groups of organisms is called convergent evolution. |
$(2)$ Homologous organs show divergent evolution. | $(2)$ Analogous organs show convergent evolution. |
$(3)$ Examples: Darwin's finches, Australiar Marsupials, locomotion in mammals. | $(3)$ Examples : Australian marsupials and placental mammals, various aquatic vertebrate and wings of insects, birds. and bats. |
Evolution in which the animals of two different gene ecology show too much similarity with one another, is called
Example of divergent evolution
Fossil $X$ is older than fossil $Y$ if
Industrial melanism is an example of
Organs which have similar origin and developmental plan, but different functions are called
