evolution of different species from a common ancestor

Vedclass · Answer

(A) : Adaptive radiation (divergent evolution) is the process of evolution of different species from a common ancestor in a given geographical area,starting from a point and radiating to other areas of geography.As the original population increases in size,it spreads out from its center of origin to exploit new habitats and food sources.In time,this results in a number of populations,each adapted to its particular habitat.Eventually,these populations will differ from each other sufficiently to become new species.
