Question 4

Convergent Evolution

Answer 4

evolution that occurs when species that occupy similar ecological areas adapt in similar ways (flying squirrel North America sugar glider Australia)

Question 5

Answer 5

offspring with genetic modification

Question 6

Microevolution

Answer 6

changes over time in allele frequencies in a population

Question 7

Macroevolution

Answer 7

broad pattern of evolution above the species level

Question 8
