Convergent vs Divergent Evolution - ANSWER -Divergent: one broad class but because of different features they diverge -Convergent: similar features between 2 different classes Punctuated Equilibrium vs Gradualism - ANSWER -Punctuated: concrete & defined phenotypes -Gradualism: phenotypes gradually evolve Speciation - ANSWER Formation of new species 1) Allopatric: separated by geographical barrier (mountain, ocean, river) -Barrier divides species 1 and species 2 2) Parapatric...
