Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the evolutionary process where a single ancestral species diversifies into multiple forms to adapt to different environments?
Correct Answer: Divergent evolution
  • Step 1: Understand that all living things share common ancestors.
  • Step 2: Learn that when a species evolves, it can change over time.
  • Step 3: Recognize that sometimes a single species can split into different forms.
  • Step 4: Know that these different forms adapt to various environments.
