Answer #1

Coevolution occurs between a host and its parasite when host aquires characteristics providing defense against parasitism and infection parasite traits, in turn, evolve as a response to the host defensive traits. For example, orchids from Madagascar, Angraecum sesquipedale evolved long nectaries toprevent many parasites to get the necter. While the moth X. morganii praedicta developed a long tongue to feed on its necter.
