What is Divergent Evolution ?

$\huge{\pink{\underline{\green{\mathbf{Answer}}}}}$

• It is the pattern of evolution in which two closely related species gradually become more dissimiliar
• It occurs when a specific group population becomes new species
• For example :- Darwin's Finchens

Answer 2

Answer:

Divergent evolution or divergent selection is the accumulation of differences between closely related populations within a species, leading to speciation. Divergent evolution is typically exhibited when two populations become separated by a geographic barrier (such as in allopatric or peripatric speciation) and experience different selective pressures that drive adaptations to their new environment. After many generations and continual evolution, the populations become unable to interbreed with one another.[1] The American naturalist J. T. Gulick (1832-1923) was the first to use the term "divergent evolution",[2] with its use becoming widespread in modern evolutionary literature. Classic examples of divergence in nature are the adaptive radiation of the finches of the Galapagos or the coloration differences in populations of a species that live in different habitats such as with pocket mice and fence lizards.[3]
