Evidences of Evolution-(common ANCESTORs)
Mechanisms of Evolution: How evolution happens
Speciation- making of a new species
Coevolution: close associated species influence each other; two species evolve in response to each other
For example, predator/prey or host/parasite species |
Convergent Evolution: Different lineage, evolving closer together to be similar, using different mechanisms.
For example, bats and butterflies. Both have wings, but they came from totally different lineages, evolved through different mechanisms/mutations |
Divergent Evolution: Same lineage, evolving apart to be more different- separate into different species.
For example, bats and horses. Both share the same lineage as mammals, but the limb of the bat became wings while the horse developed hooves |
