Type of evolution in which unrelated organisms independently evolve similarities when adapting to similar environments?
Analogous selection.
How is convergent evolution related to niche?
Well, convergent evolution is the acquiring of similar characteristics and unrelated lineages (such as a bird and butterfly both having wings), and is related to niche because a similar niche allows a similar adaptation to form to accomplish that niche.For example,The Australian honey possumacquired a long tongue for taking nectar from flowers, a structure similar to that ofbutterflies, some moths, and hummingbirds, and used to accomplish the very same task.
What is the difference between evolution and convergent evolution?
Evolution is the general theory itself, by which organisms change and adapt over time. Convergent evolution is a specific proces in which similar traits appear in unrelated organisms. For example, insects and birds both have wings but the two evolved independent of each other. That's convergent evolution.
When distantly related life form develop similar trits is it convergent evolution?
Yes, because the environmental pressures are the same evolutionary processes develop similar responses to the same challenges in the environment; similar physiological and behavioral traits.
What is the evolutionary relationship between a fin and flipper?
They're an example of convergent evolution - two structures with common features which have evolved like that due to a similar/the same purpose despite having unrelated origins. Flippers have hidden fingers.
Type of evolution in which unrelated organisums independently evolve smilarities when adapting to similar environments?
Convergent Evolution
How did Darwin explain the existence of of similar but unrelated species?
Through convergent evolution, in which similar function produces similar form.
A pattern of evolution that results when two unrelated species begin to appear similar because of environmental conditions is?
Analogous evolution. Convergent evolution.
What is it called when unrelated species become more and more similar in appearance as they adapt in the same kind of environment?
Convergent Evolution. A good example of this are creatures that fly, such as birds, bats, and insects. Each of these are unrelated species, yet they all developed wings.
A pattern of evolution that results when two unrelated species begin to appear similar because of environmental conditions?
Analogous and convergent evolution
A pattern of evolution that results when two unrelated species begin to appear similar because of environmental conditions is what?
Analogous and convergent evolution.
The process that produces a similar appearance among unrelated groups of organisms is?
Convergent Evolution :] -NESGAR
Type of evolution in which unrelated organisms independently evolve similarities when adapting to similar environments?
Analogous selection.
What is the name of the process when two unrelated species develop similar adaptations due to having similar niches or environments?
Convergent evolution
Why do organism not closely related sometimes look similar?
Convergent Evolution is the reason. :)
What is convergent adaptation?
Adaptive convergence is a form of evolution in which two unrelated (or distantly related) species evolve very similar forms due to similar selective pressures.
Frogs Ducks and Otters an amphibian bird and mammal all have webbed feet this is an example of what type of evolution?
This is 'convergent evolution', where completely different, unrelated organisms develop a similar feature.
