🗑
what is natural selection and adaptation   All species have great potential to form large populationsPopulations, though, tend to remain stable in size, except for seasonal fluctuations There is a struggle for existence among individuals of the population Individuals vary in a population Those ind

🗑
what is Convergent Evolution   Organisms appear to be similar but are not closely related by a common ancestor. Typical of analogous structures Organisms evolve similar traits as they adapt to similar environments.
