Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coevolution refers to the reciprocal genetic changes that occur in two or more species due to their interactions with each other, such as predator-prey, host-parasite, or mutualistic relationships. In this scenario, a genetic change in one species may provide an advantage or disadvantage to the other species, leading to subsequent genetic changes in the other species over time. This process is a coevolutionary arms race, whereby each species evolves traits that exploit or defend against the other's adaptations.
