Define evolution
the process of gradual change that takes place over many generations
What is speciation
formation of a new species into the evolution
Why are some species called distinct species
when they produce infertile offspring
To offsprings of the same species would produce
fertile offspring
What are the three types of evolution
convergent and divergent and coevalution
What is convergent
two or more species share similar traits that did not come from the same ancestor
Why does convergent evolution happen
because different species that live in similar environments will develop similar charecteristics
What is divergent evolution
two or more species diverge from a common ancestor these species will look different from each other
What does divergent evolution happen
Happens because part of a population becomes isolated due to migration or geographic barriers organisms of the divided population will become adapted to different environments
When does co-evolution happen
happens when two or more species influence each other's evolution because of their interactions
