Explanation:

Convergent evolution creates analogous structures that have similar form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups. ... Bird, bat, and pterosaur wings are analogous structures, but their forelimbsare homologous, sharing an ancestral state despite serving different functions.

An example of convergent evolution is the similar nature of the flight/wings of insects, birds, pterosaurs, and bats. All four serve the same function and are similar in structure, but each evolved independently.

Hope it helps
