Significant similarity is strong evidence that two sequences are related by divergent evolution of a common ancestor.
12.
The finches that Charles Darwin described in the Galapagos Islands are a classic example of divergent evolution.
13.
Because of the latter, it is possible for divergent evolution to occur between two genes within a species.
14.
The divergent evolution of wolves and domesticated dogs from a common ancestor, perhaps the grey wolf, provides another example.
15.
In addition to divergence in their core catalytic machinery, the PA clan proteases also show wide divergent evolution in function.
16.
Female mating preferences are widely recognized as being responsible for the rapid and divergent evolution of male secondary sexual traits.

Female mating preferences are widely recognized as being responsible for the rapid and divergent evolution of male secondary sex characteristics.
18.
It is entirely possible to have convergent evolution at the organism level in spite of divergent evolution at the gene level.
19.
The similarity in the folding of the three enzymes and the exceptional symmetry commonly suggests divergent evolution from a common ancestor.
20.
As well as divergent evolution of function ( and even the triad's nucleophile ), catalytic triads show some of the best examples of convergent evolution.
