Chapter 15 Section 3 Evolution in Action Objectives Describe how convergent evolution can result among different species. Explain how divergent evolution can lead to species diversity. Compare artificial selection and natural selection. Explain how organisms can undergo coevolution. Chapter 15 Section 3 Evolution in Action Case Study: Caribbean Anole Lizards Ongoing examples of evolution among living organisms can be observed, recorded, and tested. In convergent evolution, organisms that are not closely related resemble each other because they have responded to similar environments. Chapter 15 Section 3 Evolution in Action Case Study: Caribbean Anole Lizards, continued Divergence and Radiation In divergent evolution, related populations become less similar as they respond to different environments. Adaptive radiation is the divergent evolution of a single group of organisms in a new environment. Chapter 15 Section 3 Evolution in Action Natural Selection of Anole Lizard Species Chapter 15 Section 3 Evolution in Action Artificial Selection The great variety of dog breeds is an example of artificial selection. Chapter 15 Section 3 Evolution in Action Coevolution The increasing occurrence of antibiotic resistance among bacteria is an example of coevolution in progress.
