Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of convergent evolution include the relationship between bat and insect wings, shark and dolphin bodies, and vertebrate and cephalopod eyes. Analogous structures arise from convergent evolution, but homologous structures do not.

Detailed explanation-2: -An example of convergent evolution is the wings of the birds, insects, and bats. Their wings may not have the same anatomic composition and features but their wings that serve for one purpose, which is flight.

Detailed explanation-3: -A widespread example of convergent evolution is the evolution of wings and powered flight in birds, bats and (now extinct) pterosaurs, each of which belong to a different class of organism and therefore have very distant common ancestors.

Detailed explanation-4: -Convergent evolution is when two species that do not share a recent common ancestor end up with similar traits due to their environment and their role in it. This is almost the exact opposite as divergent evolution. A good example of convergent evolution is the wings of birds versus the wings of insects.

Detailed explanation-5: -Convergent evolution: Convergent evolution occurs when two organisms that lack a recent common ancestor end up more and more alike as they adapt to a similar ecological niche. The organisms have convergent phenotypes, and their similar structural forms are called analogous structures (such as bird wings and bat wings).
