What in the world is convergent evolution?
Convergent evolution occurs when unrelated species evolve with similar features. An example of this is opposable thumbs, which primates typically have. Opossums also have an opposable thumb, and they are not from the primate family.
How do species become adapted to their environment?
The process is called "adaptation."
Why do organism not closely related sometimes look similar?
Convergent Evolution is the reason. :)
Are seals and dolphins examples of convergent evolution?
Yes, seals and dolphins are examples of convergent evolution. Despite having different ancestors, they have evolved similar streamlined body shapes, flippers, and adaptations for swimming in their aquatic environments. This convergence is a result of facing similar environmental pressures in their habitats.
How many types of evolution are there?
well, you get many types like:australopithecus afarensisaustralopithecus africanushomo erectushomo habilishomo sapienhomo sapien sapien
The independent evolution of the advanced cephalopod eye and the eye of a vertebrate is know as?
convergent evolution
Is platypus an example of convergent evolution?
Yes, with ducks.
Find one example of convergent evolution among the Caminalcules?
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.
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 in the world is convergent evolution?
Convergent evolution occurs when unrelated species evolve with similar features. An example of this is opposable thumbs, which primates typically have. Opossums also have an opposable thumb, and they are not from the primate family.
What is the similarity among forearm in amphibians reptiles birds and mammals is an example of?
They all have the same bones, albeit evolved to suit different needs.
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.
Would a crater be an example of convergent evolution?
No. A crater would be an example of what happens when a volcano erupts or a meteorite impacts the planet.
Do creationists believe in convergent evolution?
No. You can't define the evolution of a single species as convergent. Rather convergent evolution is a comparison of the evolution of two or more groups of organism, which independently evolve similar adaptations. The evolution of birds, bats, and pterosaurs is an example of convergent evolution: in all three groups the forelimbs developed into wings.
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.
How Has the evolution of the eye give an example of evolution in general?
The eye is a good example because there are living animals with eyes that represent each step in it's evolution. Human eyes also show how evolution can produce "bad" results; the retina is essentially "inside-out" - the nerves are on top and there is a blind-spot where the optic nerve leaves the eye.
