A. an adaptive trait due to convergent evolution
B. a classification scheme where organisms are assigned to categories
C. a trait inherited from a common ancestor
D. a set of selective forces enacted on one lineage
E. a way to define an organism's repertoire of social behaviors
Question 2

A. gene flow.
B. genetic evolution.
C. molecular convergence.
D. homology.
E. convergent evolution.
Examples of convergent evolution.
