Convergent evolution	Divergent evolution.
(i) Due to adaptation when a species evolves similarities in their function and characteristics is considered as convergent evolution.	(i) In divergent evolution, an ancestral species diverges into many different species and finally produces a new species.
(ii) Occurs due to similar environmental pressures leading to analogous structures.	(ii) Occurs due to different environmental conditions leading to homologous structures.
(iii) For example; wings of bats, birds, and insects.	(iii) For example; Darwin finches, where the beak of finches changes due to adaptation.
