Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Evolution**: Evolution refers to the changes in species over time that allow them to better adapt to their environment. This process can lead to the development of new traits or features that enhance survival and reproduction. *Hint: Remember that evolution is about adaptation over time.* 2. **Defining Convergent Evolution**: Convergent evolution occurs when different species, which do not share a common ancestor, evolve similar traits or features due to adapting to similar environments or ecological niches. This results in analogous structures that serve similar functions. ...
