Convergent evolution is a process where organisms independently evolve traits. Some molecular data place the giant panda in the bear family (Ursidae) but place the lesser panda in the raccoon family (Procyonidae). Consequently, the morphological similarities of these two species are probably due to

analogous structures

Explanation:

Analogous structures play similar and/or identical functions in unrelated organisms. For example, moths and bats both have wings, even though they aren't related. Convergent evolution is a process that generates analogous structures in organisms that don't share a common ancestor with such structures. Moreover, homo-logous structures are shared traits between organisms that share a common ancestor. On the other hand, divergent evolution is a process associated with the accumulation of phenotypic differences between organisms within a species, which eventually lead to speciation.

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.
