All evolution that results in increasing genetic divergence between subpopulations may result in speciation. That includes convergent evolution: convergence occurs at the phenotypical level, not at the genetic level.

What is a macro evolution?

Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.


How do evolution and speciation relate?

Evolution is the change in populations of organisms over time while speciation is the direct result of natural selection working to select individuals with traits different enough, but beneficial enough, y drive their alleles into greater frequency in popilations so that new species have a chance of arising; either by anagenesis or phylogenesis.


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 name of evolution that produces similar but distantly related organisms?

Convergent evolution, or convergence theory.


How is evolution and convergent evolution alike?

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.


Which type of evolution requires speciation?

Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise.


Why is mutation important to spectation?

Without mutation there can be no evolution. Without evolution there can be no speciation.

What do the structures that result from convergent evolution indicate about organisms?

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.
