Which statement best explains the evolutionary relationship of birds and butterflies? Bird and butterfly wings are a result of divergent evolution because birds and butterflies did not evolve from a winged common ancestor. Bird and butterfly wings are a result of convergent evolution because birds and butterflies evolved from a winged common ancestor. Bird and butterfly wings are analogous structures because they have similar functions, are structurally different, and are a result of convergent evolution. Bird and butterfly wings are homologous structures because they have similar functions, are structurally the same, and are a result of divergent evolution.

Evolutionary lineages

An evolutionary lineage is a series of populations of organisms that descend from a common ancestor. Each species in the lineage is the direct consequence of evolutionary change from a common ancestor. A phylogenetic tree is generally used to display lineages visually. Lineages are components of the phylogenetic tree of life. Molecular systematics procedures are widely used to predict lineages.
