There are species of lizards that burrow underground. Gophers and moles are mammals that also burrow underground.

• Coevolution

• divergent evolution

• convergent evolution

In convergent evolution, organisms share physical similarities because they

• have a common ancestor

• live in the same enviornment

• develop homologous structures

• are closely related

What is the correct defintion of a species?

• Same type of organisms living in an area.
• Same type of organisms that can reproduce.
• Organisms that can reproduce and fertilize offspring.
• Organisms that can reproduce and have fertile offspring.

• convergent
• divergent
• coevolution
