Answer:

Convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is a type of evolution of similar features and/or structures between organisms that are not phylogenetically related. This type of evolution is known to create analogous structures/organs that exhibit similar or the same functions but were not present in the last common ancestor of these taxa. An example of analogous structures (and therefore also of convergent evolution) are the wings of bats and of insects (e.g., butterflies). Conversely, divergent evolution is a type of evolution where species phylogenetically related, i.e., species that share a common ancestor, evolve and accumulate differences over time.

<span>Nails are hard plates of tightly packed keratinized cells. They are clear and cover the dorsal surface of the last phalanges of fingers and toes. Nails protect the the ends of the fingers, allow us to scratch various parts of our body and help us grasping and manipulating small objects.
</span>The site of nail growth is the nail matrix<span> that is found beneath the nail root. The nail matrix is thick and is only composed of the deeper layer of the epidermis: the stratum basale (or germinativum). The keratinization of the cells of the nail matrix proceeds in the absence of a stratum granulosum and lucidum and this results into formation of a of a rigid and durable plate. As the nail matrix thus proliferates and differentiates, this hard plate is pushed forward onto the nail bed and the nail grows.</span>

Answer:

In a strict evolutionary sense, all tetrapods are essentially “limbed fish,” because their ultimate vertebrate ancestor is a fish. All tetrapods share a variety of morphological features.
