AP Biology / Unit 7: Natural Selection

- Convergent evolution: unrelated species evolve similar traits in similar environments.
Practice
Broccoli and cabbage from wild mustard is:
People chose the traits.
Wings in bats and birds evolved separately. This is:
Analogous structures.
Artificial selection shows that:
