Question

True or false? convergent evolution is said to have occurred if the mouse species on two islands with similar habitats are found to have similar characteristics even though they originated from different species that did not have these characteristics.

Answer 1

I think the statement about convergent evolution is True. Convergence evolution is an evolution where organisms that are not closely related develop or evolve similar features due to their adaptation in a similar environment. This explains why the mouse species on two island with similar habitats develop similar characteristics.
