Nucleotide!
When attached in a polymer, they become a nucleic acid.
Divergent evolution is when two different species share the same ancestral origins but have evolved differently whereas convergent evolution is when species with different ancestral origins have developed similar features.
In convergent evolution, two species that are not necessarily closely related develop similar features often as a result of adaptation to similar conditions.
Answer:
Point mutations are a broad category of mutations that describe a change in a single nucleotide of DNA, such as a substitution for another nucleotide, deletion of a nucleotide, or insertion of a single nucleotide into the DNA, resulting in DNA that differs from the normal or wild type gene...
or you can say:
Point mutations are a large category of mutations that describe a change in single nucleotide of DNA, such that that nucleotide is switched for another nucleotide, or that nucleotide is deleted, or a single nucleotide is inserted into the DNA that causes that DNA to be different from the normal or wild type gene ...
