Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	genetic equilibrium
B	genetic mutation
C	natural selection
D	overproduction

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Adaptive radiation is the process by which one species evolves into two or more species. This occurs as a result of different populations becoming reproductively isolated from each other, usually by adapting to different environments.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following is a correct statement about the relationship between natural selection and evolution? Natural selection results from evolution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of Convergent Evolution Both sharks and dolphins have similar body forms, yet are only distantly related: sharks are fish and dolphins are mammals. Such similarities are a result of both populations being exposed to the same selective pressures. Within both groups, changes that aid swimming have been favored.

Detailed explanation-4: -The term coevolution is used to describe cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other’s evolution.
