Convergent evolution would be the best way to explain why two species that look similar are not necessarily that closely related. In convergent evolution, distinct species develop similar anatomical characteristics after its divergence from one common ancestor that does not possess the initial characteristic.
I'd say it should be D. Peat. Hope this helps! =^-^=
The genes contained in the species' chromosomes would influence a species' physical appearance, would it not?
The alleles that species gains from both parents helps determine what that species physical appearance (also known as the phenotype) would look like.
Hope this explanation helped you. :)
Answer:
The larva stage of skilworm is a worm-like creature that emerges from the egg, the first life stage. And the pupa stage of silkworm is the sedentary, transformative form following the larval stage
