<span>The
answer is convergent evolution. This
occurs when animals that are not closely related evolve similar characteristics
due to living within the same habitat/environment due to natural selection. Convergent
evolution enables the organism to evolve analogous structures (which </span>have similar form or function but were not present in their
ancestors<span>). </span>
Answer:
Selective breeding.
Explanation:
Humans have long bred animals, and especially, dogs, in order to create organisms with more desirable characteristics. A dog that doesn't shed hair sounds like a particularly desirable characteristic for any pet owner that keeps their dogs in the house, and therefore makes it more likely that the Maltese was deliberately designed to have this characteristic through selective breeding.
