Question

select the statements that accurately describe coevolution. it leads to one of the species being better adapted than the other. it causes population bottleneck, which can increase the chances of extinction. it occurs when two species affect the survival and reproductive success of the other. it can result in a predator that is extremely well - equipped to capture prey, and prey that is extremely well - equipped to escape. it can increase the genetic diversity of the involved species. predator and prey species usually coevolve.

Explanation:

Co - evolution is the reciprocal evolutionary change in two or more interacting species. It occurs when species affect each other's survival and reproductive success. In predator - prey relationships, they often co - evolve with predators developing better hunting traits and prey developing better escape traits. It doesn't necessarily lead to one species being better adapted than the other in an absolute sense, and it is not directly related to population bottlenecks. It can increase the genetic diversity as species adapt to each other.

Answer:

It occurs when two species affect the survival and reproductive success of the other.
It can result in a predator that is extremely well - equipped to capture prey, and prey that is extremely well - equipped to escape.
It can increase the genetic diversity of the involved species.
Predator and prey species usually coevolve.
