Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Convergence refers to the process where unrelated species evolve similar traits due to having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches. Dolphins (mammals) and tuna (fish) are examples of convergent evolution as they have developed similar streamlined bodies to adapt to life in water, despite being from different evolutionary lineages.
