Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Coevolution is most broadly interpreted as two groups of organisms reciprocally influencing the evolution of each other. Groupings can be made at different levels of biological organization and the coevolution of those groups studied (e.g., within or between species, within or between genera, within or between guilds).

Detailed explanation-3: -Coevolution is likely to happen when different species have close ecological interactions with one another. These ecological relationships include: Predator/prey and parasite/host. Competitive species.

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: -The evolution of the extinct “cheetah-like animal” to become fast and the pronghorn’s response of increasing their speed is an example of coevolution. Coevolution describes cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other’s evolution.
