Researchers discover that a north american bird species called a brown thrasher has a very similar beak structure to one of darwin's finches. the specialized beak structure, which independently evolved in each species, allows the birds to break open seeds. what terms might relate these two beaks? (select all that apply.)

The answer would be analogous and convergent evolution. In evolutionary biology, convergent evolution is the procedure whereby creatures not carefully related, self-sufficiently evolve alike traits as an outcome of taking to familiarize to like surroundings. The beaks can be described as analogous since there is a similarity of structures that came from different origins.
