Similarities between slime molds and fungi are now considered to be . Group of answer choices a) variations of common ancestral traits b) adaptations for much different functions c) homologies examples of convergent evolution

c) homologies examples of convergent evolution

Explanation:

The convergent evolution is a process of evolution in which the individuals that are not related to each other in terms of a common ancestor but they independently evolve similar traits as a result of survival of those organisms in the same kind of environments or same ecological niches.

The slime molds are one of the protozoic species, which posses many morphological similar traits as that of fungi even though they are found in different environments. For example, during the conditions of stress, the slime mold develops the spore-producing fruiting bodies like fungi. These are the homological traits between the two species. This is the basis of convergent evolution between slime mold and fungi.
