Types of Evolution

The three species pictured do not share a common ancestor, yet have evolved to have a similar anatomy and life style. This is an example of ?

• Coevolution

• Divergent Evolution

• Parallel Evolution

• Convergent Evolution

The three species pictured share a common ancestor and have adapted so that each lives in a different environment. This is an example of

• Law of Superposition

• Evolutionary Arms Race

• Divergent Evolution

• Convergent Evolution

In the ocean surrounding Antarctica, there are fish that survive the cold water by using a molecule made of glycoproteins that circulates the blood and keeps it from freezing. Certain kinds of worms that live in the Arctic ocean also make antifreeze proteins that help them live in icy water.

As smaller lizard like reptiles hid in rock crevices to avoid larger predators and feed on smaller insects they found that shorter legs could get further in and find more insects. Over time through many generations snakes evolved as the legs were slowly lost.
