Question

When you go outside, it is common to hear a variety of bird songs. These songs vary among bird species as well as bird flocks. Interestingly, some bird species that are highly unrelated have very similar song qualities. What can you conclude from this phenomenon? The bird songs are homologous traits. The bird songs have achieved speciation after coming from allopatric species. The bird songs are analogous traits. The bird songs have different molecular DNA.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-The bird songs are analogous traits

Explanation:

Analogous traits are the traits which evolved independently in the unrelated organisms but they perform the same functions.

The analogous traits are derived due to the process of convergence that is to perform the same function depending on the habitat thus, development of analogous traits explains the convergent evolution.

The convergence could be observed not only anatomically but in the behavior as well as the physiology. In the given question, since the unrelated species of bird sing songs with similar qualities shows that the singing trait is an analogous trait.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
