In convergent evolution, organisms share physical similarities that can be seen because they
have a common ancestor
live in the same type of environment
develop homologous structures
are closely related
- 7. Multiple Choice

- 11. Multiple Choice
Sharks and dolphins look very much alike-- both have streamlined bodies, fins, and sharp teeth. Sharks and dolphins, however, show every few similarities in protein and DNA structures implying that they are not closely related. The body structures have evolved independently. Which term is used by evolutionary biologists to describe the process by which two separate species may evolve in a similar way and come to resemble one another, but have no relation.
Adaptive Radiation
Convergent Evolution
Divergent Evolution
Coordinated Development
