What are the types of evolution
Explanation:
The different types of evolution are:
- Convergent evolution– It is the process, which evolves independently, under similar selection pressures. For example, flying insects, birds and other flying species have all evolved the ability to fly, but independently of each other.
- Coevolution evolution–It is the process in which two or more species evolve in tandem by exerting selection pressures on each other. For example, host and parasites, predators and prey, flowering plants and pollinating insects and mutualistic or symbiotic interactions.
- Adaptive radiation–It is the process in which a species splits into a number of new forms when a change in the environment makes new resources available or creates new environmental challenges. For example, finches on the Galapagos Islands have developed different shaped beaks to take advantage of the different kinds of food available on different islands.
