Detailed explanation-1: -Coevolution functions by reciprocal selective pressures on two or more species, analogous to an arms race in an attempt to outcompete each other. Classic examples include predator-prey, host-parasite, and other competitive relationships between species.
Detailed explanation-2: -What evolutionary characteristics are typical of coevolving species? The relationship between 2 coevolving species can be so specific that neither organism can survive without the other. An evolutionary change in one organism is usually followed by a change in the other organism.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
Detailed explanation-5: -They are: mutation, non-random mating, gene flow, finite population size (genetic drift), and natural selection.
