Which pie of organisms show convergent evolution? A)despite being close relatives,cattle and giraffes have drastically different neck lengths B) Ducks develop different mating dances to avoid mating with other ducks from different species C) a bluegill sunfish amd a redear sunfish, closely related have similar fun shapes and color patterns D) Tasmanian devil and wolverines are both thick bodied predators with crushing teeth and similar food sources, but they are not at all related

Respuesta :

 Tasmanian  devil  and wolverines  are  both  thick  bodied  predators  with  crushing  teeth  and  similar  food  sources, but  are not  related (answer  D) This  is  because  in  convergent  evolution  organisms have  different  origin  but  have  similar   traits  as  result of  having  adopted  similar environment. Both  Tasmanian devil and  wolverines  have  similar  trait  but  they  are  related.

Convergent evolution describes the process by which species with very different evolutionary histories (no recent common ancestor) develop similar traits due to the advantages that these traits provide. One example is aquatic mammals, such as dolphins, developing a body type similar to fish, due to the advantages that this body type provides for moving through the water.
