Description: Analogous structures are body parts that look alike but did not evolve in a shared ancestor – they evolved independently in lineages subject to the same environmental pressures The independent evolution of similar body parts in different lineages is called morphological convergence Example: Bird, bat, and insect wings all perform the same function, but are derived from different structures Picture Stats: Views: 104 Filesize: 359.3kB Height: 1153 Width: 2243 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=48464 Keywords: Morphological Convergence |
