When does evolution act?
Evolution is always happening. Species are constantly changing to adapt to their surroundings. If evolution wasn't always happening, many different species would have died.
How do adaptive radiation and convergent evolution differ?
Divergent evolution creates the divergence of a single species by isolating the gene pools of each species thereby increasing the differences between the population and eventually species. Divergent evolution is the evolution of different species from a common ancestor (and hence common characteristics) to attain new, dissimilar characteristics. Convergent evolution works on a different level. Unlike divergent evolution, convergent evolution does not create species with similar derived characteristics. Convergent evolution involves the adaptation of several different, unrelated organisms to the same environment in the same way. For example, flies and birds are not immediately related yet they both cope with getting around by flying with wings- similar structures that are not derived from one and other. Convergent evolution does not create new species, unlike divergent evolution. Convergent evolution is the co-evolution of different species with different ancestors in such a way that they attain the same characteristics independently of each other.
Occurs when species that were similar become increasingly distinct?
Divergent evolution:)
What is a species and how do they develop?
Species is a label that is attached to a group of reproductively linked, usually cohabitating organisms. New species emerge from existing species through a process called speciation, which is a result of evolution. For more information, see related questions below.
The evolution of numerous species such as Darwin's finches from a single ancestor called?
The evolution of numerous species, such as Darwin's finches from a single ancestor is called adaptive radiation.
What is exhibit parallel and divergent and convergent evolution?
Parallel evolution: two (or more) species or genera that evolve in similar ways over time. Divergent evolution: two or more closely related species or genera that evolve to become quite different from one another. Convergent evolution: two or more unrelated and dissimilar species or genera that evolve to become similar to one another, for example penguins (birds that used to fly), dolphins (mammals that used to walk on land) and fish (animals that were always swimming)
What is the related change in two or more species?
That is co-evolution.
What are the 5 types for evolution?
The five types of evolution are divergent evolution (species diverge from a common ancestor), convergent evolution (unrelated species develop similar traits), coevolution (two species evolve in response to each other), parallel evolution (related species independently evolve similar traits), and adaptive radiation (rapid diversification of species to fill ecological niches).
How would you use population and evolution in a sentence together?

How can embryonic development can be used as evidence for evolution?
Related species have similar embryos.
What is mimicry in terms of evolution?
It is when one species copies the behavior or appearance of another, un-related species, to fool predators.
Two species that are closely related become increasingly different through?
Divergent evolution
What is the significance of divergent evolution?
Divergent evolution occurs when two or more species that originated from a common ancestor evolve and accumulate differences over time, resulting in them becoming more dissimilar. This process leads to the formation of new species and contributes to biodiversity by allowing organisms to adapt to different environments and niches.
What is divergent evolution and how does it contribute to the diversity of species in biology?
Divergent evolution is when two or more related species evolve different traits over time. This process leads to the creation of new species with unique characteristics, increasing biodiversity in biology.
Is evolution closely related to DNA?
Yes, evolution is closely related to DNA. Changes in DNA, such as mutations, are the raw material for evolution by natural selection. Over time, these changes can accumulate and lead to the development of new species through the process of evolution.
How does geological distribution prove evolution?
Geological distribution of species can provide evidence of evolution by showing patterns of related organisms in different regions that can be explained by common ancestry and the processes of evolution. For example, closely related species are often found in close proximity to each other, while more distantly related species may be found in different regions, suggesting common evolutionary origins. This distribution pattern supports the idea of species diversifying and spreading out over time in response to changing environments and selective pressures.
Why are physical similarities among species not always the result of being related?
because unrelated species can evolve similar traits through convergent evolution.
