Question

Distinguish between convergent n divergent evolution.....

Answer 1

Differences Between Convergent and Divergent Evolution

Three main differences between convergent and divergent evolution are:

1.)Convergent evolution shows how species have evolved separately but have similar (analogous) structures. Divergent evolution demonstrates how species can have common (homologous) anatomical structures which have evolved for different purposes.

2.)Convergent evolution happens in organisms that are not closely related while divergent evolution is observed in organisms that are closely related.


3.)The relationship between the analogous structures in different species that evolved through convergent evolution can be less distinct compared to the homologous structures seen in divergent evolution which have the same basic structural plan.
