Adaptive radiation in placental mammals and Australian marsupials, leading to similarity between distant species, is an example of ________.
- A.divergent evolution
- B.convergent evolution✓
- C.founder effect
- D.genetic drift
Correct Answer
(B) convergent evolution
Solution & Explanation
Australian marsupials and placental mammals radiated independently yet produced strikingly similar forms (e.g. marsupial wolf and placental wolf). Two unrelated lineages evolving similar features is convergent evolution.
