Answer:

Convergent evolution

Explanation:

The convergent evolution is a very interesting evolutionary process that is also very helpful when ti comes to explaining how the evolution actually works. This type of evolution appears when two or more different species, be it plants or animals, live in places that are isolated from one another, but have the same or very similar living conditions. The species then evolve in a very similar manner despite them not being closely related at all, bu the response from them is the same in order to survive in the environments that provide the same conditions. If the conditions are very harsh, hot, and dry, thus a desert, then the two plants will develop the same or very similar features. They will have very hard leaves that stop the loss of water. The amount of leaves will be very low. The root systems will be disproportionately large. They will both have the ability to extract humidity from the air. The chances are also very high that they will both have thorns for protection, as well as certain amount of poison in them for the same purpose.

Answer:

D) sympatric speciation and habitat isolation

Explanation:

Sympatric isolation is a form of evolutionary process whereby different species from an ancestral origin evolve within the same geographical environment as a result of reproductive isolation.

Habitat isolation is a form of reproductive isolation which occurs when two populations of a species inhabiting overlapping habitats become unable to interbreed with each other.  

Reproductive isolation (habitat isolation) that occurs in the fleas is as a result of the new species becoming separate from it's ancestral species which feed only on pronghorn antelopes, although both species can still be found in the same geographical location (rangeland). The new species now have preference for cattle blood, and so are now found on cattle.

In the situation of the two new species of flea that would evolve, it can be said to an example of sympatric speciation and habitat isolation, since the host mammal is assumed to be their habitat and both the cattle and pronghorns often associate with one another in the same open rangeland.
