Practice problem
How is coevolution different from convergent evolution?
Convergent evolution results in beneficial adaptations, while coevolution results in inert adaptations.
Coevolution occurs between organisms living in different habitats, while convergent evolution occurs between organisms living in the same habitat.
Convergent evolution occurs between different species, while coevolution occurs between members of one species.
Coevolution results from reciprocal selective pressures, while convergent evolution results from similar selective pressures.
Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
