Due to similar selection pressure, several metatherians and eutherians have similar morphological structures (e.g. sugar gliders and flying squirrels). What is this evolutionary process called?

Convergent evolution

Allopatric speciation

Recurrent evolution

Divergent evolution

Solution

Answer is \"A\". Convergent evolution.

Convergentevolution (isomorphism) is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages.

It creates analogous structures that have similar form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor.
