- 11. Multiple Choice
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
- 12. Multiple Choice
Convergent evolution is when
Species share traits due to a common ancestor
Species have similar traits because of similar environment
Species have same traits due to different environments

Species looking similar due to a common environment
evolution of two species that do not interact
evolution of one species in response to evolution in another species
