Match the terms to their descriptors. NOTE: If you want to change your selection, you'll need to delete the one you already chose. After you delete it, the lis of choices will pop back up and you can make a different choice. Two species evolve in different directions from a common starting point Divergent evolution Two species independently evolve similar structures Homologous structures Traits that look similar but were not inherited from a common Convergent evolution ancestor Analogous structures Traits that are similar because they were inherited from a common ancestor

### Instructional Activity: Matching Evolutionary Terms

This exercise requires you to match terms related to evolutionary biology with their appropriate descriptors. Please follow the set guidelines:

1. **Instructions:**
   - Read each statement describing evolutionary processes or structures.
   - Match the descriptions to the correct term from the given list.
   - To make a change, you'll need to clear your previous selection to choose again.

2. **Matching Exercise:**

   | **Description**                                                      | **Term**                      |
   |---------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|
   | Two species evolve in different directions from a common starting point. | Divergent evolution           |
   | Two species independently evolve similar structures.                   | Convergent evolution          |
   | Traits that look similar but were not inherited from a common ancestor. | Analogous structures          |
   | Traits that are similar because they were inherited from a common ancestor. | Homologous structures         |

Use this information to better understand the principles of evolutionary biology as they relate to species evolution and structural similarities.
