PATTERNS OF EVOLUTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When two species evolve because of how they influence eath other, which usually results in a symbiotic relationship, this is called:
A
extinction
B
coevolution
C
symbiosis
D
mutualism
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: -Relationships formed through co-evolution may be called symbiotic relationships. Three types of symbiotic relationships are predator-prey relationships, mutualistic relationships, and parasitic relationships.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term coevolution is used to describe cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other’s evolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Coevolution occurs when species evolve together. Coevolution often happens in species that have symbiotic relationships. Examples include flowering plants and their pollinators.

Detailed explanation-5: -In biology, coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other’s evolution through the process of natural selection. The term sometimes is used for two traits in the same species affecting each other’s evolution, as well as gene-culture coevolution.
