Types of Evolution

Two species are in different environments and look very similar.  However, that are not closely related.  Their resemblance is most likely an example of.

• sexual selection
• temporal isolation
• convergent evolution
• Coevolution

A bumble bee has just enough weight to open up the snapdragon flower and get the nectar/pollen inside.  Other insects cannot do this. This adaption is an example of........

• convergent evolution
• co-evolution
• divergent evolution
• speciation

Sharks and dolphins both have streamlined bodies that allow them to move through water efficiently, this is an example of which type of evolution?

• Divergent
• Coevolution
• Convergent
• Artificial

#12. Two or more species evolve together

• convergent evolution
• coevolution
• punctuated equilibrium
• adaptive radiation

#8. Unrelated organisms come to resemble one another

• convergent evolution
• coevolution
• punctuated equilibrium
• adaptive radiation

#7. Describes a patter of long, stable periods interrupted by brief periods of more rapid change

• convergent evolution
• coevolution
• punctuated equilibrium
• adaptive radiation

The Prickly Pear cactus and the iguana have shaped each other.  This is called ____

• convergent evolution
• adaptive radiation
• coevolution
• adaptation

A color or shape in an organism's body covering that helps it blend into its environment

• Trait

• Mimicry

• Camouflage

• Adaptation

Ducks and beavers both have webbed-feet.

• allopatric speciation

• adaptive radiation

• convergent evolution

• coevolution

• sympatric speciation

The cuckoo bird and cowbirds have evolved eggs that closely mimic those of other birds (the hosts). Their young also have characteristics (feather coloration and calls) that mimic the young of those other birds and encourage the host parents to feed them. In response, some hosts have developed the ability to discriminate between their own offspring and eggs, and those of the cuckoos and cowbirds.
