Question

What is adaptive radiation?

O
A. A decrease in the rate of speciation
O
B. An adaptation that harms an organism
O
C. The process of learning new adaptations
D. When many species share a single ancestor

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Adaptive radiation refers to the relatively fast evolution of numerous species from a single common ancestor. When an organism enters a new habitat, its different traits have an influence on its survival. Adaptive radiation may be seen in the evolution of mammals following the extinction of dinosaurs.

Answer 2

Adaptive radiation is the process of learning of new adaptations by the organisms and the plant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adaptive radiations are the changes which are being adapted by the new generation of organisms for their survival. These adaptive radiations make difference between one generation and the other.

The common example of these changes are change in the thickness of beak of birds, changes of claws of birds, etc. Not only in organisms and animals, these changes are observed in plants also.

These changes are not inherited rather they are adapted according to the situation and nature.
