Some beetles and flies have antler-like structures on their heads, much like male deer. The existence of antlers in beetle, fly,
and deer species with strong male-male competition is an example of ________.A) homology B) similarity due to shared ancestry C) parsimony D) convergent evolution
Even though between flies and beetles it could be considered as a homology, between such insects and deers it's absolutely a convergence. Homologies are comparable characters between taxons that could have evolved from a common ancestor that had these structures. The common ancestor between insects and deers is really far in the phylogeny so the structure is not comparable.
