Coevolution is the

• Species looking similar due to a common ancestor

• Species looking similar due to a common environment

• evolution of two species that do not interact

• evolution of one species in response to evolution in another species

What type of evolution is demonstrated in this photo?

• Coevolution

• Convergent evolution

• Punctuated evolution

• Gradualistic evolution

If an animal evolves to be more camouflaged in an environment, and another animal evolves a better ability to sense movement. This would be

• Divergent Evolution

• Coevolution: predator Pray

• Coevolution: mimicry

What is coevolution?

• The process where two species evolve independently

• The process where two species evolve in response to each other

• The process where one species evolves and the other remains unchanged

• The process where species evolve due to environmental changes

Which of the following is an example of coevolution?

• A flower and its pollinating insect developing matching structures

• A predator evolving faster running speed while prey remains the same

• Two unrelated species developing similar traits due to similar environments

• A species evolving due to climate change

In a coevolutionary relationship, what is likely to happen if one species evolves a new defense mechanism?

• The other species will go extinct

• The other species will evolve a counter-adaptation

• The other species will migrate to a new area

• The other species will remain unchanged

How does coevolution affect biodiversity?

• It decreases biodiversity by making species more similar

• It increases biodiversity by promoting specialized adaptations

• It has no effect on biodiversity

• It decreases biodiversity by causing extinctions
