Question

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

Answer 1

This kind of evolution where both species are evolving in response to one another is called coevolution.

Answer 2

Answer : Option A coevolution

Explanation :

• Coevolution is the form of evolution in which the evolution of one species reciprocally affects the evolution of the other species, in simpler terms we can say that is a type of evolution in which one species' evolution is dependent on the other.

• Extinction is the process where a particular species cease to exist.

• Convergent evolution is the type of coevolution in which two species which are not related to each other evolve to adapt similar traits as they live in similar ecological niches.

• Adaptive radiation is a process in which a species rapidly diversifies into different types and occupies newer areas.

Based on all these definition it is clear that according to the question, the case is of coevolution.
