  • Card 11 / 21:
    Dolphins and fish have similar body shapes. Is this feature more likely a homologous or analogous trait?

    Dolphins are mammals and fish are not, which means that their evolutionary paths (phylogenies) are quite separate. Dolphins probably adapted to have a similar body plan after returning to an aquatic lifestyle, and therefore this trait is probably analogous.
