How is adaptive radiation different from divergent evolution?

I think it is Puncuated Equilibrium. I am not sure.No Punctuated Evolution is a period of stasis where no changes occur followed by sudden rapid change.It is Divergent


Why do adaptive radiations often occur after mass extinctions?

Adaptive radiations often occur after mass extinctions because the clearing of ecological niches due to the extinction of dominant species opens up opportunities for other species to diversify and occupy new habitats. This reduced competition allows for rapid evolution and the colonization of new adaptive zones, leading to a burst of speciation and diversification known as an adaptive radiation.


What is divergent evolution in whch ancestral species evolve into an array of species to fit a number of diverse habitats?

Divergent evolution is when a common ancestor gives rise to different species adapted to different environments or ecological niches. This process results in the evolution of distinct traits in each species to better suit their specific habitats and lifestyles.


What is the term for biodiversity that results from new ancestral species?

Adaptive radiation is the term for biodiversity that results from few ancestral species.


What term refers to such phenomenon of evolving different adaptive forms from ancestral species?

The term that refers to the phenomenon of evolving different adaptive forms from ancestral species is called divergent evolution. This occurs when two or more related species become increasingly different over time due to adapting to different environments or ecological niches.

What has a single species that has evolved into several different forms that live in different ways has undergone?

Adaptive radiation, where a single species diversifies into multiple forms to exploit different niches within their environment. This process allows for the evolution of various adaptations that improve their survival and reproduction in specific habitats.

What are the 5 types for evolution?

The five types of evolution are divergent evolution (species diverge from a common ancestor), convergent evolution (unrelated species develop similar traits), coevolution (two species evolve in response to each other), parallel evolution (related species independently evolve similar traits), and adaptive radiation (rapid diversification of species to fill ecological niches).
