Question
Analogous organs arise due to
- Divergent evolution
- Artificial selection
- Genetic drift
- Convergent evolution.
Hint:
Organs that have a different structure but perform the same function are analogous structures.
The correct answer is: Convergent evolution.
Analogous organs serve similar functions but have different ancestral origins. Since they do not show common descent, they are an example of convergent evolution.
