The characteristic that evolved independently in mammals and birds was ENDOTHERMY (Option E).

  • Endothermy refers to the physiological mechanism by which an organism maintains a high and stable internal body temperature through metabolic regulation.

  • Endotherm animals generate heat by increasing their internal body temperature and resting metabolic rate.

  • True endothermic animals, also known as warm-blooded animals or homeotherms, are only mammals and birds.

  • The endothermy appeared by convergent evolution (i.e., by independent evolution in different species) as a fundamental phenotypic feature of birds and mammals.

In conclusion, the characteristic that evolved independently in mammals and birds was ENDOTHERMY (Option E).
