2. Convergent Evolution
Convergent evolution occurs when
arise in
species. Each species has
adapted to
conditions. Evolving wings
lets an animal catch prey and escape predation. This often
results in
structures like wings.
3. Coevolution
Coevolution occurs when
cause further adaptations in a
related species. The evolutionary
paths of
are connected. When the
predator runs faster so do does the prey or both species
become extinct. Many
coevolve. Many plants can only reproduce if their flowers
match a specific pollinator.
4. Extinction
Many species that have existed on Earth are now extinct.
There have been 5 major extinction events before now.
