Organisms that live in similar environments, such as oceans, often have similar adaptations.  This is often due toGroup of answer choicessexual selectioncoevolutiongradualismconvergent evolution

Organisms evolve over time by adapting to their environment.ResponsesTrueTrueFalse

Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Over a long period of time, helpful variations in a species replace the unfavorable ones. This change can lead toGroup of answer choicesgenetic mutations.fossilization.geographic isolation.evolution.

Why does convergent evolution sometimes cause unrelated species to have similar adaptations?Multiple choice question.Because similar habitats may favor similar adaptationsBecause evolution is progressive and leads to increased complexityBecause an adaptation in one species will always be beneficial in other species

Gradual genetic changes in organisms from an ancestral species describesMultiple choice question.coevolution in similar habitats.descent with modification.artificial selection based on specific traits.
