|
Biological evolution failed to create changes in the plant and animal species of Australia.

Detailed explanation-1: -Many plants and animals native to Australia are found nowhere else on Earth. Which best explains this? The soil of Australia has a high mineral content with plenty of moisture. Geologic evolution occurred, separating Australia from other land masses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which best explains why species living in Australia are found nowhere else on Earth? Australia has an ecosystem different from any other area on Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Due to its isolation from the rest of the world, Australia and Oceania has an incredibly high number of endemic species, or species that are found nowhere else on Earth. Plants traveled between islands by riding wind or ocean currents.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which best explains the gaps in the evolutionary history of Earth’s life forms? Many organisms died without leaving behind fossil remains.
Detailed explanation-5: -Evidence for evolution comes from many different areas of biology: Anatomy. Species may share similar physical features because the feature was present in a common ancestor (homologous structures). Molecular biology. DNA and the genetic code reflect the shared ancestry of life.
