A convergent evolution is a phenomenon of independent evolution of similar traits in species that are in different lineages. These traits are called analogues structures. They are similar in form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those species. So, t<span>he appendages of cockroaches and turtles are analogues structures with the similar function - creeping movements, and they are the result of the convergent evolution.</span>

Which adaptation is the likely result of convergent evolution?
bezimeni [28]

A result of convergent evolution are the webbed feet of ducks and frogs.

Explanation:

The evolution of the animals, or rather the development of adaptive features, works in very interesting manner. It is very common in nature that animals that are closely related do not share similar characteristics, or the opposite, animals that are not closely related but share similar characteristics. The later case, is referred to as convergent evolution, where totally different animals have developed the same or very similar characteristics in order to be better suited for their environment.

In this case we have the ducks and frogs, and the webbed feet as shared adaptations, or feature. The ducks are birds, while the frogs are amphibians, and their last common ancestor has lived hundreds of millions of years ago. Despite that, both animals have developed webbed feet, and the reason for this has been that both animals have faced the same challenge, swimming and diving, and the webbed feet help them to be much faster and more agile in the water.

Other examples of convergent evolution (in the present and in the past) are:

  • Hyena - Tasmanian devil
  • Sandy cat - Fenec fox
  • Smilodon - Thylacosmilus
  • Bats - Birds

Why are shadows longer in the morning and evening?
Luden [163]

Shadows are longest in the early morning and late afternoon/early evening when the sun appears low in the sky. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the sun hits each location in the morning at an angle. ... As Earth continues to spin toward sunset, the increasing angle causes shadows to lengthen!
