Coevolution is the evolutive and adaptative relationship between two species that interact. Simultaneous evolution and adaptation depend on this interaction. 1,G). 2,D). 3,C). 4,B). 5,F). 6,A). 7,E)
What is coevolution?
Coevolution is the biological relationship between two or more species that interact and adapt to each other. Coevolution is the mechanism that explains the occurrence of coadaptation.
Coadaptation is the reciprocal genetic changes in species that interact due to the selective pressures that each species impose on the other.
Coadaptation is what can be seen or observed.
For coevolution to occur, there must be phenotypic variation and heritability.
Acording to this framework, the steps is order are
1-G) The anteater becomes specialized to eat only ants
2-D) Ants burrow into the ground to scape the anteater
3-C) The anteater digst to reach the ants. A longuer tongue is useful
4-B) Ants burrow deeper into the ground to scape the anteater
5-F) The anteater digst to reach the ants. A longuer tongue is useful
6-A) Ants develope complex cave systems to scape the long reach of anteaters
7-E) Selection for long tongue and nose allows anteater to still reach ants.
- Anteater becomes specialized in eating only ants
- Since anteater becomes specialized, ants need to burrow into the ground to scape.
- Since ants are hiden underground, anteater digs and deveolpe a long tongue to access ants.
- Ants need to dig deeper
- Anteater still can get to the ants by using its tongue and digging
- Ants create cave systems to scape
- Anteater developes smell and uses its tongue to detect ants in the caves.
The anteater develops structures and mechanisms to hunt ants. As a response, ants develope strategies to scape from the predator.
