Detailed explanation-1: -This form of evolution is referred to as convergent evolution. Convergent evolution is a kind of evolution wherein organisms evolve structures that have similar (analogous) structures or functions in spite of their evolutionary ancestors being very dissimilar or unrelated.

Detailed explanation-2: -Analogous structures are features of different species that are similar in function but not necessarily in structure and which do not derive from a common ancestral feature (compare to homologous structures) and which evolved in response to a similar environmental challenge.

Detailed explanation-3: -Analogous structures develop due to convergent evolution where in organisms belonging to different species are exposed to the same environemental conditions and they adapt similarly.
