NGSS.HS-LS4-4

Process by which unrelated organisms develop similarities due to living in similar environments

• family descent

• survival of the fittest

• convergent evolution

• divergent evolution

Process by which closely related organisms develop differences due to living in different environments

• family descent

• survival of the fittest

• convergent evolution

• divergent evolution

When two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution. This occurs when organisms have close ecological interactions.

• coevolution

• parallel evolution

• macroevolution

• microevolution
