Question
Chapter 32.3, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The patterns of convergent evolution in significant morphological and developmental characters.
Introduction: Convergent evolution refers to the development of similar characters in organisms lacking common ancestry. Such organisms possess analogous organs or traits which develop in order to survive under selection pressure.

Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in different lineages. It
occurs when distantly related organisms obtain a shared trait trait due to analogous needs.
Such resemblance is said to be homologous. Therefore, species with traits that appeared
convergently do not have a common ancestor

Summarize the evidence regarding the sum of evolutionariy modifications from the given putative ancestor form to the derived descendent. Demonstrate some competence and understanding in terms of the taxa involved(List at least three or four of the genera involved as examples) and the anatomical features that were modified over the generations.

- I can apply the knowledge of Patterns of Descent withModification from Common Ancestors & The Development of EvolutionaryThought by:arrow_forwardCompare and contrast convergent evolution and evolution by common descent, and give an example of each.arrow_forwardThis phylogeny consists of two distinct genera of cat; one with one species (P. aliquam) and another of three species (the red box indicates their distance). The species have three main physical traits: coat colour, ear tufts and tail shape. At the ancestral nodes of the tree, it can be seen what the ancestor of these species looked like for these three traits. Each of these traits has undergone a different type of evolution. Choose one type of evolution and explain the mechanism that brought the given characteristics.arrow_forward
