Warm-up: Which Pattern of Evolution? Label the following 3 examples as either convergent evolution, divergent evolution, or coevolution:A. Whales, dolphins, sharks, and penguins all have streamlined bodies and fins/flippers for moving in water even though they belong in different classes of animals (mammals, fish, and birds). _______________________
B. Ants are the correct size and weight needed to open the flowers for the peony plant. The peony plant provides food for the ant and the ant fertilizes the peony’s flowers. _____________________
C. All the Galápagos tortoise species share a common ancestor, but have necks of different lengths to best reach the different foods they need in their environment. ____________________
PLAN:
