How do shark and whale show convergent evolution
Answers
Answer:
In evolutionary biology, convergent evolution is the process whereby organisms not closely related, independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches. Convergent evolution creates analogous structures that have similar form or function, but that were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups. Whale, seal and sharks shows convergent evolution, as they have analogous structures used for swimming.
Explanation:Both dolphins and sharks swim after prey in the ocean. ... We know that dolphins and sharks are not closely related, and they didn't inherit their similar body shapes from a common ancestor. Their streamlined bodies, dorsal fins and flippers are the result of convergent evolution.
