Homology refers to structures derived from a common ancestor, illustrated by the wings of birds and forelimbs of bats. Divergent evolution describes the process where related species increasingly differ, leading to homologous structures used in various ways. The text identifies divergent evolution as the correct concept associated with these processes.

Homology is defined as structures which are derived from a common an.pdf
- 1. Homology is defined as structures which are derived from a common ancestor like wings of bird and forelimbs of bat. Divergent evolution: It is the process where two or more related species become more and more dissimilar. Divergent evolution produces homologous structures e.g.same bones can be used in many ways leading to divergent evolutionary paths like frogs, bats, birds so on. So the correct option is (c):Divergent evolution. Solution Homology is defined as structures which are derived from a common ancestor like wings of bird and forelimbs of bat.
