Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a population changes in response to changes in another species, this is known as ____
A
Coevolution
B
Convergent Evolution
C
Divergent Evolution
D
Sympatric Speciation
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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: -Coevolution occurs when species evolve together. Coevolution often happens in species that have symbiotic relationships. Examples include flowering plants and their pollinators.
