Question

9. Suppose that species A evolves and species B evolves in response to the changes in Species A. Species A then changes in response to the changes in Species B. This is an example of

A. convergent evolution.
B. extinction.
C. adaptive radiation.
D. coevolution.

Answer 1

The answer is convolution

Answer 2

Correct answer: D). Co-evolution

The co-evolution is the process of reciprocal revolutionary changes that are known to occur between the two or more species. The activity of each species, which participate in the interaction, applies a selection pressure to the others. It is one of the primary methods by which biological communities are organized.

Example: Predator-prey relationship, in this relationship, there is selective pressure on prey in order to avoid capture. As a result of that, the predator must adapt to become a more effective hunter.

Hence, the correct answer would be option A.
