• will not be passed down to its' offspring

• become more common over time

• cause the extinction of a species

What is the main difference between convergent and divergent evolution?

• Convergent evolution involves species becoming more similar, while divergent evolution involves species becoming more different.

• Convergent evolution involves species becoming more different, while divergent evolution involves species becoming more similar.

• Convergent evolution involves species evolving in isolation, while divergent evolution involves species evolving together.

• Convergent evolution involves species evolving together, while divergent evolution involves species evolving in isolation.

Sea anemones produce a neurotoxin for protection. Clownfish have evolved an immunity to the neurotoxin. How does this coevolution help the clownfish?

• It allows clownfish to eat sea anemones

• It provides clownfish with a safe habitat

• It helps clownfish to swim faster

• It enables clownfish to change colors

What is the main characteristic of gradualism in evolution?

• Rapid changes in phenotype

• Slow and steady pace of variation

• Sudden large changes over short periods

• Consistent with the fossil record

Which of the following is NOT true about gradualism?

• Population change is slow and constant

• It involves small variations over a long period
