Vedclass · Answer

(B) Convergent evolution occurs when different species independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.This process leads to the development of analogous organs,which are structures that perform similar functions but do not share a common evolutionary origin.In contrast,divergent evolution is associated with homologous organs,which share a common evolutionary origin but may perform different functions.
