Coevolution
Biology ⇒ Evolution and Diversity
Coevolution starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Coevolution.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe a real-world example of coevolution involving a predator and its prey.
Describe how coevolution can influence the structure of a community.
Describe how coevolution can lead to speciation.
Describe how human activities can influence coevolutionary relationships.
Describe how mimicry can be a result of coevolution.
Context: A butterfly species evolves to lay eggs on a specific plant, and the plant evolves toxins to deter the butterfly. What type of coevolution is this? (1) Mutualistic, (2) Antagonistic, (3) Commensalistic, (4) Sympatric
Context: A species of bird evolves a beak shape that allows it to access nectar from a specific flower, and the flower evolves a shape that matches the bird's beak. What type of coevolution is this? (1) Antagonistic, (2) Mutualistic, (3) Parasitic, (4) Competitive
Context: A virus evolves to infect a host more efficiently, and the host evolves a stronger immune response. What is this an example of? (1) Mutualistic coevolution, (2) Antagonistic coevolution, (3) Convergent evolution, (4) Genetic drift

True or False: Coevolution always results in mutual benefit for both species.
True or False: Coevolution can lead to increased specialization between species.
True or False: Coevolution can lead to the extinction of one of the interacting species.
True or False: Coevolution can occur between a plant and an animal.
