Detailed explanation-1: -The four types of evolution are divergent evolution, convergent evolution, parallel evolution, and coevolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Galapagos finches are an example of divergent evolution. Through time, the species evolved morphologically different traits. A prototype example of divergent evolution is Galapagos finches. Charles Darwin’s Beagle voyage led him to conclude that the finches diverged from their descendant species.
Detailed explanation-3: -’Parallel evolution’ occurs when independent species acquire similar characteristics while evolving together at the same time in the same ecospace. An example of parallel evolution is extinct browsing-horses and paleotheres.
Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of convergent evolution include the relationship between bat and insect wings, shark and dolphin bodies, and vertebrate and cephalopod eyes. Analogous structures arise from convergent evolution, but homologous structures do not.
