The structure that result from convergent evolution indicates that organisms have to be reclassified because when scientists compared nucleic acid from the cells of the animals and they found many diffrences in them.
Analogous structures suggest convergent evolution because they have both evolved from a set of species but for different reasons and from different causes.
analogous structures
The "struggle to survive", "survival of the fittest" and "natural selection" are all phrases to indicate the main guiding mechanism of evolution: differential reproductive success.
In multicellular organisms every cell type has its own special set of jobs, but you did not indicate the job you are interested in. In unicellular organisms the cell has to do every job.
A negative result for the spores stain indicate that the gram-negative organism is present. A positive result for a spore stain indicates that a gram positive organism is present.
AnswerBiogeographyBiogeography is the study of the the distribution of life forms over geographical areas. It provides significant inferential evidence for evolution and, most importantly, testable predictions about evolution.With special creation, we should find species distributed in an effectively random geographic manner, with closely related species no more likely to be located close to each other than not, but merely existing where climate and other environmental factors favoured their survival. It would make as much if not more sense for them to exist wherever an environment could support them, as opposed to being distributed according to their apparent relationship to other life forms. The fact that this is not the case contradicts the claims of creationists.Comparative anatomyOne of the strongest forms of evidence against special creation is comparative anatomy. Organisms with similar anatomical features are assumed to be relatively closely related evolutionarily, and they are assumed to share a common ancestor. Common ancestry is a paradox if species have remained unchanged since the time of creation.Some organisms have homologous anatomical structures that are very similar in embryological development and form, but very different in function. A good example of homologous structures is the forelimb of mammals. When examined closely, the forelimbs of humans, whales, dogs, and bats are all very similar in structure - each possesses the same number of bones, arranged in almost the same way. By comparing the anatomy of these organisms, scientists have determined that they share a common evolutionary ancestor and in an evolutionary sense, they are relatively closely related. Their dramatic differences in function is clear evidence of adaptation through continuing evolution, not of special creation.Other organisms have analogous anatomical structures that function in very similar ways, but are morphologically and developmentally very different. For example, the wings of birds and dragonflies both serve the same function, but the anatomy of the wings are very different. Since these structures are so different, even though they have the same function, they do not indicate an evolutionary relationship nor that two species share a common ancestor.
The first known were bacteria, and they date back to 3.5 to 4 billion years ago.
Homologous structures indicate a common ancestor
In biology, the prefix "homo-" means "same" or "similar." It is often used to indicate similarity or sameness among organisms or structures, such as in the term "homologous structures" to describe similar structures in different species.
Similar amino acid sequences can indicate similar protein structure and function. Hydrophobic residues will orient the same way in solution as will polar residues. Charged amino acids are commonly found within or near the active sites enzymes. Similar amino acid sequence can also indicate a similar evolutionary origin known as convergent evolution. This is the same for unique proteins that evolved from a common ancestral protein which is known as divergent evolution.
Homologous structures are similar in structure but different in function, indicating shared ancestry (such as the bones in the limbs of humans and bats). Analogous structures have similar functions but different origins, suggesting convergent evolution (like the wings of birds and insects).

that we share a common ancestor
All vertebrates evolved from fish.
The more similar (or homologous) some chemical structures are, the more likely they are closely related. Conversely, greatly dissimilar structures indicate divergence a long time ago. If the only other clues about an organism are not specific enough, the chemical structures - and thereby other organisms - it is related to can be discerned by such a comparison.
Structures which are apparently different and performing different functions but their basic structure is similar are called homologous structures and indicate common ancestry eg. fore limbs of bat , whale , horse dog and man apparently different but are made up of humerus , radius , ulna , carpel , metacarpals and phalanges .
The most important factors in classifying organisms are their genetic characteristics, anatomical features, and ecological roles. Genetic similarities help determine evolutionary relationships, anatomical structures provide insight into their form and function, and ecological roles indicate how they interact with their environment. These factors are used to group organisms into hierarchical categories such as domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
This statement refers to the fact that evolution occurs at the level of populations over generations, with changes in allele frequencies leading to evolution. It emphasizes that individual organisms do not evolve within their lifetimes, as they do not change genetically, but rather it is the population as a whole that evolves.
