To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement to determine which one is not true:Option 1: Analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution. - Analogous structures arise when different species evolve similar traits independently, often due to similar environmental pressures. - This is a correct statement.Option 2: Sweet potato and potato is an example of analogy. - Sweet potato and potato have similar functions (storage of food) but different origins, making them analogous. - This is a correct statement.Option 3: Homology indicates common ancestry. - Homologous structures are derived from a common ancestor, even if they serve different functions. - This is a correct statement.Option 4: Flippers of penguins and dolphins are a pair of homologous organs. - Flippers of penguins and dolphins are analogous, not homologous, as they evolved independently to serve similar functions in different lineages. - This statement is not true.Therefore, the statement that is not true is Option 4.
