Question

How does the concept of convergent evolution explain the independent development of complex eyes in mollusks and vertebrates?

Accepted Answer

Similar environmental pressures led to the evolution of similar traits in unrelated lineages.

Answer

Convergent evolution implies identical evolutionary pathways in different organisms.

Answer

Convergent evolution occurs when a single genetic mutation affects different species similarly.

Answer

Both lineages evolved from a shared common ancestor with complex eyes.
