Divergent evolution occurs when a single species develops a certain trait and then diverges to become two different species. Compare this to convergent evolution, where two different species develop a similar trait.
Evolution and convergent evolution both involve changes in organisms over time. However, convergent evolution specifically refers to the independent evolution of similar traits in unrelated species in response to similar environmental challenges.
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.
The process is called convergent evolution. It occurs when different species independently evolve similar traits or characteristics due to adapting to similar environments or ecological niches.
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.
Both convergent and divergent evolution involve the process of species adapting to their environments over time through natural selection. Convergent evolution results in different species developing similar traits independently in response to similar environmental pressures, while divergent evolution leads to the development of distinct traits in related species due to different environmental pressures.
It already has in some instances
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.
Convergent evolution, or convergence theory.
Evolution and convergent evolution both involve changes in organisms over time. However, convergent evolution specifically refers to the independent evolution of similar traits in unrelated species in response to similar environmental challenges.
One example of convergent evolution among the Caminalcules is the evolution of leaf-like structures in different lineages that have adapted to a similar environment. Despite starting from different ancestral forms, these organisms have independently evolved leaf-like structures to maximize surface area for photosynthesis, showing convergent evolution.

convergent evolution
Yes, with ducks.
Convergent evolution.
The process is called "adaptation."
No. Both are birds and their wings are a derived trait common to all birds. The wings of penguins and bats display convergent evolution.
