1. Adaptive radiation: A pattern of evolution in which slightly different species evolve from one common ancestor.

2.  Coevolution: A  pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other.

3. Convergent evolution:  A pattern of evolution in which similar characteristics evolve between two unrelated species.

4. Divergent evolution: A pattern of evolution in which very different species evolve from one common ancestor.

5. Gradualism:  A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves by consistent, small, steps.

6. Punctuated equilibrium: A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves in spurts of rapid change and then no change.

• Adaptive radiation - a pattern of evolution in which slightly different species evolve from one common ancestor  

For example -  Evolution of mammals after the extinction of dinosaurs.

• Co evolution - a pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other  

For example – Development of flowering plant and associated insects or pollinators  

• Convergent evolution - a pattern of evolution in which similar characteristics evolve between two unrelated species  

For example – similar function of  flight or wings of insects, birds and bats

• Divergent evolution - a pattern of evolution in which very different species evolve from one common ancestor  

For example – different types of beaks of finches

• Gradualism - a theory of evolution that states that a species evolves by consistent, small, steps  

For example – evolution of tigers to develop better line marks on their body

• Punctuated equilibrium - a theory of evolution that states that a species evolves in spurts of rapid change and then no change  

i don't know, but does anyone wanna be friends? i'm doing my homework at 1: 49 in the morning : /
