Convergent Evolution Occus Structure Type  Species Selection Pressures

Convergent evolution occurs when different species face the same selection pressures, resulting in common adaptations and structural similarities, such as in dolphins and sharks (analogous structures).

Convergent evolution occurs when different species face similar selection pressures, leading to analogous structures that serve similar functions, like the similar body shapes of dolphins and sharks.
