Hypothetical examples of three different categories of homoplasy, as well as homology. a Striping in the two descendent fish lineages illustrated evolved through convergent evolution. b Striping in the two descendent fish lineages involves the same set of underlying genes and evolved through parallel evolution. c Both descendent fish lineages bear stripes, but one of the lineages wound up with stripes through an evolutionary reversal. d Striping in the descendent fish lineages was inherited from a common ancestor and is homologous
