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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Symbiosis is an interaction characterized by two or more species living purposefully in direct contact with each other. The term “symbiosis” includes a broad range of species interactions but typically refers to three major types: mutualism, commensalism and parasitism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Detailed explanation-4: -Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created. Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics.

Detailed explanation-5: -Co-adaptation and coevolution, although similar in process, are not the same; co-adaptation refers to the interactions between two units, whereas co-evolution refers to their evolutionary history. Co-adaptation and its examples are often seen as evidence for co-evolution.
