Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A form of evolution where two species having a close ecological relationship evolve together such that one species adapts to changes in the other, thereby affecting each other’s evolution.

A	Convergent Evolution
B	Divergent Evolution
C	Coevolution

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The term coevolution is used to describe cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other’s evolution.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Co-evolution When two species or groups of species have evolved alongside each other where one adapts to changes in the other.

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.
