Seismic waves travel in all the directions and used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake. There are 3 types of seismic waves that move in different directions.
1. P wave: It is the fastest of all three waves that travel through the interior of the earth and are compressive waves.
2. S wave: Secondary waves generally follow the P waves and travel through the interior of the earth but are shearing waves.
3. Surface wave: This is the slowest of all three waves that moves close to the surface of the ground.

These waves affect the movement of other materials when they are passing through the interior or surface of the earth.
P waves can move through the solid rocks and even liquids. S waves do not travel through the  liquids such as water and molten magma. Surface waves causes shaking of the ground and do not go deep inside the earth.

Sometimes the cell's DNA isn't copied properly resulting in cancer-type cells. 2. Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides into two identical daughter cells. Each cell is genetically identical and both are a similar size. </span>

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The flowers and moths experienced the same allopatric speciation events during their history.

Explanation:

Co evolution may be defined as the process of the evolution of more than two species together that oppositely affects the evolution of each other. The natural selection provides the base for the co-evolution.

The co evolution generally occurs in the flowers and its pollinating species. The moth and the flower speciation represents the co evolution because both evolution are affected by each other. They have experienced the co evolution due to the allopatric speciation event and leads to teh genereation of the specific change in the characteristics.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
