Which evolutionary concept explains the development of similar traits in unrelated plant species due to similar environmental pressures?
Correct Answer: Convergent evolution
- Step 1: Understand that different species can live in similar environments.
- Step 2: Recognize that when species face the same challenges in their environment, they may develop similar traits.
- Step 3: Learn that this process of developing similar traits in unrelated species is called convergent evolution.
- Step 4: Remember that convergent evolution happens because the species adapt to similar environmental pressures, not because they are related.
