How many combinations from the following show convergent evolution?
(a) Mole - Marsupial mouse
(b) Lemur - Spotted cuscus
(c) Anteater - Numbat
(d) Mole - Mouse
(e) Lemur - Numbat
(f) Numbat - Spotted cuscus

The correct option is A 4

• Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages. Mole - marsupial mouse, lemur - spotted cuscus, anteater - numbat, mole - mouse show convergent evolution.
• Divergent evolution is the accumulation of genetic and phenotypic differences within a species, which can lead to the formation of new species over time, also known as speciation. Lemur - numbat, numbat - spotted cuscus shows divergent evolution.

So, the correct answer is '4'.
