4 Οκτ 2019 · 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.
22 Ιουν 2023 · Convergent evolution, on the other hand, occurs when two or more distinct species develop similar forms or traits that are not due to a common ancestor. Instead, selection pressure results in similar solutions to similar problems in more than one species — sometimes in a wide variety of species.
4 Αυγ 2023 · Convergent Evolution: Unrelated species develop similar traits due to adapting to similar environments. Divergent Evolution: Species with a common ancestor develop different traits over time. Structures: Convergent Evolution: Leads to analogous structures (similar functions, different origins).
What is the difference between convergent and divergent evolution? Divergent evolution is the opposite of convergent evolution. Divergent evolution occurs when two species share a common ancestor and evolve one or more characteristics that make them different to each other.
1 Ιαν 2022 · Divergent evolution or evolutionary branching occurs in response to selective pressure like changes in biotic factors (e.g., species interactions) and abiotic factors (environmental factors like climate, nutrient status, physical structure, and niche divergence) which drive natural selection.
1 Νοε 2019 · Convergent vs. divergent evolution. The classical examples of evolution, such as Darwin's finches, demonstrate the opposite process: divergent evolution.
What are the differences between convergent and divergent evolution, and what are examples of each that support evolution by natural selection? What are examples of homologous and vestigial structures, and what evidence do these structures provide to support patterns of evolution?
