POSSIBLE POINTS 714 Which form of evolution is best represented by the example below: The Galapagos tortoises share a common ancestor, but have necks of different lengths to best reach the food they need in their environment. Convergent Divergent Coevolution

## Step 1<br />The problem presents a scenario where the Galapagos tortoises share a common ancestor but have different neck lengths to adapt to their specific environments. This is a classic example of evolution, where species evolve from a common ancestor but adapt to different environments in different ways.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The three options provided are Convergent, Divergent, and Coevolution. We need to identify which one best fits the given scenario.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Convergent evolution refers to the process where unrelated species independently evolve similar traits as they adapt to similar environments or ecological niches. This doesn't apply to our scenario because the tortoises are not unrelated species.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Coevolution refers to the process where two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution. This doesn't apply to our scenario because the tortoises are not affecting each other's evolution.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />Divergent evolution refers to the process where a single species evolves into multiple different forms that live in different ways. This fits our scenario perfectly because the tortoises are evolving from a common ancestor but adapting to different environments in different ways.
