A change from the body form of a common ancestor. Produces homologous structures that may serve different functions. Speaking of evolution. Bones from a human hand are similar but different in numerous species: Chicken, pengun, porpoise, and bat for example. Each used for vastly different jobs but the bones have undergone morphologic divergence.

The accumulation of differences between species or populations is called?
divergence / divergent evolution
What is a Molecular Rates?
Morphological Rates and Diversification Rates.
What is 1 limitation of the morphological species concept?
there is no limitation
What is the difference between the typological species concept and the morphological species concept?
The main difference between the typological species concept and the morphological species concept is that the typological species concept classifies organisms that share characteristics that set them apart from others, whereas the morphological species concept classifies them as the same species if they appear identical.
Can you have an example of Morphological adaptation?
Buttressed tree trunks. Tree species (e.g. Taxodium distichum) may develop enlarged trunks in response to frequent inundation. This adaptation is a strong indicator Morphological adaptation
What is the difference between morphological divergence and homologous structure?
Morphological divergence is a process resulting in homologous structures.
Are the bones in your arm and hand comparable to bones in a whales flipper because of morphological divergence?
No
The bones in your arm and hand are comparable to the bones in a whale's flipper if we account for?
morphological divergence
What is divergence in evolution?
Divergence is the growing apart of two lineages - lines of descent. Divergence may occur at the morphological, behavioural and developmental level, and will always occur at the genetic level, at least when two lineages are reproductively isolated from one another.
What is the accumulation of differences between groups that lead to formation of new species?
Genetic, behavioural and morphological divergence, or genetic drift.
What is an example of morphological divergence?

Is braggart a morphological word?
yes :) it is a morphological word
What is morphological arrangement?
morphological arrangement is the size of your poo
What is an example of divergent evolution?
Basically, divergence is the "default mode" of evolution. So virtually all species you can think of would be examples of divergence. Even in cases of parallel and convergent evolution, the underlying genomes will continue to diverge. An often used example of divergent evolution in the morphological and behavioural sense is Darwin's finches.
When was Morphological Echo created?
Morphological Echo was created in 1936.
When was Divergence - album - created?
Divergence - album - was created in 1972.
When was Divergence Eve created?
Divergence Eve was created in 2003.
