Question

If analogous structures are often examples of convergent evolution what types of structures would likely be examples of divergent evolution

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be homologous organs.

Homologous organs refer to the set of organs or body structure which share common ancestry or share the same internal structure but perform a different function.

They evolve as a result of divergent evolution, that is, they evolve to perform different functions as a result of adaptation to the different environment.

For example, the forelimb of horses, the hand of a human, flippers of the whale, the wing of a bird, wing of bat et cetera are made up of same sets of bones, however, they perform different functions.

Answer 2

As there are no answer choices, I'm going to answer this just based off my knowledge

Analogous structures suggest convergent evolution because they have both evolved from a set of species but for different reasons and from different causes.
