When does convergent evolution occur?

Answer 1

Divergent evolution occurs when a single species develops a certain trait and then diverges to become two different species. Compare this to convergent evolution, where two different species develop a similar trait.

Answer 2

Divergent evolution occurs when a group from a specific population develops into a new species. In order to adapt to various environmental conditions, the two groups develop into distinct species due to differences in the demands driven by the environmental circumstances. El Salvador 100%

Answer 3

Darwin and his Galapagos Finches are an example of adaptive radiation and divergent evolution, when two or more species arise from a single ancestor due to the availability of new niches. Adaptive radiation, in turn, is the rapid evolution of many new species from a single ancestor.

At first, there was one species of finch (species 1) on the mainland. Some migrated to Island A, where they speciated from the original species into species 2. Species 2 then migrated to island B, where a new species (species 3) arose. Species 3 migrated to island C and also returned to island A, but are now unable to reproduce with species 2. On island C, a 4th species now arises and migrates to the other islands. This process can continue endlessly, leading to an extremely diverse variety of finches, all originating from a single species of finch.

Answer 4

It occurs when unrelated species occupy similar environments.

Answer 5

A group of organisms is isolated from the main population on three isolated islands with different environmental conditions

Answer 6

A group of organisms is isolated from the main population on three isolated islands with different environmental conditons.

Answer 7

adaptive radiation occurs when descendants from an ancestral species spread out into various habitats and adapt differently according to their specific habitat- resulting in different species
