EVOLUTION OF A POPULATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Coevolution is a process in which species:
A
Evolve similar traits in different environments
B
Become different from each other
C
Become extinct
D
Evolve in response to changes in each other
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -coevolution, the process of reciprocal evolutionary change that occurs between pairs of species or among groups of species as they interact with one another. The activity of each species that participates in the interaction applies selection pressure on the others.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coevolution, or coevolution, is the reciprocal evolutionary change in a set of interacting populations over time resulting from the interactions between those populations. Usually, the interacting populations are different species, like plant–pollinator, predator–prey, or host–parasite.

Detailed explanation-3: -Coevolution is the evolution of two or more species which reciprocally affect each other, sometimes creating a mutualistic relationship between the species. Such relationships can be of many different types.

Detailed explanation-4: -The predator-prey relationship is one of the most common examples of coevolution. In this respect, there is a selective pressure on the prey to avoid capture and thus, the predator must evolve to become more effective hunters.

Detailed explanation-5: -Types of Coevolution A few different categories of coevolution are often discussed by scientists in ecology and evolutionary biology: pairwise coevolution, diffuse coevolution, and gene-for-gene coevolution.
