A
One common ancestor leads to different species due to different environmental pressures.These pressures can include factors like availability of food, climate conditions, predators, competition with other species, and more.
2

A
Convergent evolution is when different species develop similar traits to adapt to similar environments. Coevolution is when species evolve together because of their interactions.
3
Q
Allopatric Speciation:
A
New species form when populations are separated geographically.
4
Q
