Divergent, Parallel, and convergent Evolution

# data[].attributes.body
Divergent- The process by which a species evolves into two or more descendant or different forms.
Parallel- The development of a similar trait in related, but distinct, species descending from the same ancestor.
Convergent- Independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.

# data[].attributes.body
-The movement of genes or alleles between inbreeding populations.

# data[].attributes.body
-The changing of the structure of a gene, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.

V-Variation-In all species, individuals differ and can produce many variations in their physical features.
I-Inheritance-something offspring carries off through generations.
S-Selection- when a species selects a mate with the best chance of survival for the species.
T-Time-Species need time to evolve from form to form and it is not a slow process.

Turtle-A slow-moving reptile, enclosed in a scaly or leathery domed shell into which it can retract its head and thick legs.
Odontochelys Semitestacea- Triassic relative of turtles.
Analogous Structure- Similarities among unrelated species that result from convergent evolution.
Adaptation- Inherited characteristic that improves an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment.
Artificial Selection- Selective breeding of domesticated plants and animals to produce offspring with desired genetic traits.
Evolution- Descent with modification; generation to generation changing the proportion of different inherited genes in a population that accounts for all of the changes that have transformed life over an immense time.
Descent of Modification- Process by which descendants of ancestral organisms spread into various habitats and accumulate adaptations to divers ways of life.
