The example of the sugar glider, a marsupial and the flying squirrel, a rodent, illustrates that homology doesn't always indicate ancestry. this is _________. dominant traits are passed down sexual selection. convergent evolution random chance
The
answer is convergent evolution. This
occurs when animals that are not closely related evolve similar characteristics
due to living within the same habitat/environment due to natural selection. Convergent
evolution enables the organism to evolve analogous structures (which have similar form or function but were not present in their
ancestors).
