Give an example for convergent evolution and identify the features towards which they are converging.
When the unrelated animals converging on the same structure or same form because they are adaptive in the same environment, this type of evolution is known as convergent evolution and this produces analogous structures. For example: streamlined shape of sharks and dolphins (their body shape, fins and flippers are same but they belongs to different lineages; shark is an elasmobranch fish belongs to Pisces and dolphin is an aquatic mammal). And they are adapted for swimming. Another example is: wings in bats, birds and flies and they are adapted for flying.
