Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
THE process of TWO species changing genetically in response to long-term interaction with each other is ____
A
coevolution
B
selective breeding
C
artificial selection
D
coevolve
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: -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-3: -Coevolution is the evolution in two or more species in which the evolutionary changes of each species influence the evolution of the other species. In other words, each species exerts selection pressures on, and evolves in response to, the other species.

Detailed explanation-4: -Types of Coevolution Pairwise coevolution (or ‘specific’ coevolution) describes tight coevolutionary relationships between two species. Diffuse coevolution (or ‘guild’ coevolution) refers to reciprocal evolutionary responses between suites of species.

Detailed explanation-5: -The evolution of organisms due to their interaction with each other is called coevolution. Interaction is seen in a predator-prey relation, parasitism, and interspecific competition.
