Convergent evolution is when various species evolve similar solutions to similar evolutionary pressures, independently and often at different times in the earth's history. A good example is the Ichsyosaurous(swimming dinosaur), sharks, and dolphins. All of them evolved with a very similar torpedo shaped body. Another example is the eyes of octopi and humans. They are alike in structure and function.
The rare Tasmanian Beech tree is the only true deciduous tree in Australia, and was long thought to be a relative of the northern hemisphere species, but study of its DNA shows that its origions date back to the Gondwana-southern supercontinent. So, the leaf shedding strategy evolved seperately in both hemispheres, another example of convergent evolution.

A pattern of evolution that results when two unrelated species begin to appear similar because of environmental conditions is?
Analogous evolution. Convergent evolution.
Features that are similar in organisms that are not evolutionarily related are due to?
convergent evolution
A similar feature that evolved through convergent evolution is called a?

What are convergent traits?
Two separate animal species or organisms develop similar traits through evolution.
How do you use convergent evolution in a sentence?
Convergent evolution means that different species have evolved to do the same sort of thing. Those two animals show convergent evolution. Convergent evolution explains why they look so much alike.

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.
