2.  Coevolution: A  pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other.

3. Convergent evolution:  A pattern of evolution in which similar characteristics evolve between two unrelated species.

4. Divergent evolution: A pattern of evolution in which very different species evolve from one common ancestor.

5. Gradualism:  A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves by consistent, small, steps.

6. Punctuated equilibrium: A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves in spurts of rapid change and then no change.

• Adaptive radiation - a pattern of evolution in which slightly different species evolve from one common ancestor  

For example -  Evolution of mammals after the extinction of dinosaurs.

• Co evolution - a pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other  

For example – Development of flowering plant and associated insects or pollinators  

• Convergent evolution - a pattern of evolution in which similar characteristics evolve between two unrelated species  

For example – similar function of  flight or wings of insects, birds and bats

• Divergent evolution - a pattern of evolution in which very different species evolve from one common ancestor  

For example – different types of beaks of finches

• Gradualism - a theory of evolution that states that a species evolves by consistent, small, steps  

For example – evolution of tigers to develop better line marks on their body

• Punctuated equilibrium - a theory of evolution that states that a species evolves in spurts of rapid change and then no change

Describe natural selection- when does natural selection occur?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin, and it is now regarded as be the main process that brings about evolution.

Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.
