A change from the body form of a common ancestor. Produces homologous structures that may serve different functions. Speaking of evolution. Bones from a human hand are similar but different in numerous species: Chicken, pengun, porpoise, and bat for example. Each used for vastly different jobs but the bones have undergone morphologic divergence.

What is the difference between morphological divergence and homologous structure?

Morphological divergence refers to how different species evolve distinct physical characteristics over time. Homologous structures are similar traits found in different species due to a common ancestor. In essence, morphological divergence can lead to differences in body structures, while homologous structures show similarities in body parts across species.

What is divergence in evolution?

Divergence is the growing apart of two lineages - lines of descent. Divergence may occur at the morphological, behavioural and developmental level, and will always occur at the genetic level, at least when two lineages are reproductively isolated from one another.


What is the accumulation of differences between groups that lead to formation of new species?

This is called genetic divergence. Over time, accumulated genetic differences between populations can lead to the formation of new species through a process known as speciation. This can occur through various mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, and isolation.
