When two groups of organisms independently evolve similar adaptations, it’s called convergent evolution. Sharks and whales both have streamlined bodies and tail flukes. How do we know that these similarities are because of convergent evolution? Hint: Whales are tetrapods. Are sharks?

Respuesta :

Answer:

These similarities can be studied through evolutionary patterns based on morphological and/or genetic data

Explanation:

Analogous structures such as wings in birds and bats are the product of convergent evolution. Convergent evolution is the process for which analogous structures evolve in species not phylogenetically related

The organisms associated distantly develop comparable attributes independently for acclimating to environmental circumstances are called convergent evolution. They create analogous structures.

Sharks and Whales are fishes that have streamlined bodies and tails which help them in swimming freely and easily in water bodies.

Both of the species are not related to each other and have different ancestors. They have evolved analogous structures over time to adapt to environmental circumstances.

They have an analogous structure similar in functions but different anatomical arrangements which shows that both of them are convergently evolved.
