Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If one species looks like another poisonous species this is most likely
A
Mimicry
B
Predator prey
C
Divergent evolution
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Batesian mimicry occurs when a nontoxic or otherwise nonprotected species mimics a toxic or protected species, whereas Müllerian mimicry occurs when one or more potentially dangerous species resemble each other and each is both the model and the mimic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Müllerian mimicry, where two or more harmful species mutually advertise themselves as harmful. Mertensian mimicry, where a deadly mimic resembles a less harmful but lesson-teaching model.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aposematism is exploited in Müllerian mimicry, where species with strong defences evolve to resemble one another. By mimicking similarly coloured species, the warning signal to predators is shared, causing them to learn more quickly at less of a cost.
