When two populations of animals which arose from a common ancestor become geographically separated, the populations become increasingly different from one another as each adapts independently to a suite of unique ecological conditions. These populations are said to be . Conversely, when two populations of animals, especially those arising from unrelated ancestors, become increasingly similar as they adapt to common (shared) ecological conditions, they are said to be

divergent; convergent

Explanation:

The first populations of animals are said to have evolutionally diverged while the second populations are said to have evolutionally converged.

In divergent evolution, closely related animal populations accumulate differences (due to differences in their environments) so much so that they can become different species.

In convergent evolution, different animal populations evolve similar traits (due to similarities in their environment).

Hence, the correct words to fill the gaps would be divergent and convergent respectively.

the transfer of energy between two molecules spaced just nanometers apart plays a key role in many technologies, including photovoltaics, quantum information systems, lighting, and sensors, as well as in biophysics to measure nanometer distances and in photosynthesis. but an open question in this area is what effect, if any, the surrounding photonic environment has on this nanoscale energy transfer. by designing and performing a carefully controlled experiment to answer this question, scientists have settled the debate and found clues to improving the efficiency of many of the technologies that rely on this process.

explanation:

economic impact of malaria is estimated to cost africa $12 billion every year. this figure factors in costs of health care, absenteeism, days lost in education, decreased productivity due to brain damage from cerebral malaria, and loss of investment and tourism.
