Similarity in evolutionarily unrelated groups due to adaptation to similar environments is called
A)homologous evolution.
B)convergent evolution.
C)biogeographic evolution.
D)Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Convergent evolution refers to the similarity in body structures or functions in groups that are not closely related, but have adapted to similar environmental conditions. Homologous evolution refers to the similarity in body structures or functions in groups that share a common ancestor. Biogeographic evolution refers to the distribution of species in different geographic locations, while Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes the distribution of alleles in a population over generations when certain conditions are met.
