Which of the following is NOT true about coevolution *
1-coevolution generates a high diversity of ecological outcomes
2-high species diversity requires coevolution
3-coevolution happened late in our evolutionary history
4-more complex organisms require more coevolved interactions than less complex organisms
5-coevolution interactions are constantly changing
Answer: (3) coevolution happened late in our evolutionary history
The 4 major points of coevolution are:
(a) species rich ecosystems are a result of coevolution
(b) coevolution has several forms and thus may have several different outcomes
(c) coevolution is a necessity for the growth and reproduction of complex organisms
(d) coevolved interactions are constantly changing as constantly changing geographic mosaics
So, coevolution started early in our evolutionary history. A prominent example is that of mitochondria which is considered as a primitive bacteria (according to endosymbiotic theory) which coevolved with eukaryotic cells.
