What was explosive adaptive radiation of mammals most likely a result of what?
For plato users D)Both A and B
Why a species is most likely to undergo adaptive radiation?
A species is most likely to undergo adaptive radiation when it colonizes a new region with diverse ecological niches that are unoccupied by competitors. This creates opportunities for the species to exploit different resources and adapt to various environments, leading to rapid diversification and the evolution of multiple distinct species.
The explosive adaptive radiation of mammals was most likely a result of what?
Adaptive radiation is usually caused by the appearance of a very useful adaptation or the appearance of a new niche in an ecological community. Both contributed to mammals' adaptive radiation. They evolved molars with four cusps, which increased their potential diet. They were insulated by fur, allowing them to survive colder areas and colder times. And the non-avian dinosaurs became extinct, allowing mammals to take their place as the (on average) largest and most dominant organisms in many ecosystems. ---------------------- PLATO USERS D) Both A and B
Which situation would most likely produce a gene mutation in a squirrel?
Exposure to environmental factors like radiation or certain chemicals is more likely to cause gene mutations in squirrels. These mutations can occur randomly during cell division or as a response to external stressors, potentially impacting the squirrel's genetic makeup.
Which event is the most likely to cause for the four periods when punctuated equilibrium seems to have occurred?
Extinction events, such as the Permian extinction and the KT extinction event. You have adaptive radiation driving evolutionary change after such events. Google " the rise of the mammals. "
Discuss how polymorphism in the cnidarians might have influenced adaptive radiation of the group?
Polymorphism influences adaptive radiation of the cnidarians due to the fact that alternation of their forms between medusae and polyps allows the ability to find the best fit in any environment.
Can you get radiation from playing slot machine?
Video slot machines will give off some radiation, much like your TV or the CRT monitor of your old computer; however, none of them are likely to produce enough radiation to cause any sort of damage.
Which event is the most likely cause for the four periods when punctuated equilibrium seems to occur?
Extinction events, such as the Permian extinction and the KT extinction event. You have adaptive radiation driving evolutionary change after such events. Google " the rise of the mammals. "
Does sexual reproduction alone cause evolution?
This is a tricky question. To some degree, yes but it's more complicated than that. Individuals with adaptive (useful for survival) traits are more likely to find a mate than those without them and their offspring are more likely to survive than the offspring of those without the traits. Their offspring will also be more likely to find mates and more likely to produce offspring and this continues down the line, making more and more of the population have the adaptive trait.
What radiation is hardest to stop?
Well It would most likely be gamma rays (gamma radiation) as it takes a wall of concrete several meters thick to stop them 2nd answer: Another form of radiation results in the emission of neutrinos, which are said to have no mass. As a result, they can whiz right through the earth, not to mention humans.
What effects of continental drift would you predict to be most likely to result in a new adaptive radiation following the Permian extinction?
Following the Permian extinction, if there was significant continental drift, the separation of previously connected landmasses would create new isolated habitats. This geographic isolation could lead to adaptive radiation as different species evolve independently to fill the new ecological niches available in their specific environments. The increased diversity of organisms adapting to the unique conditions of each habitat could drive a new wave of speciation.
The 14 varieties of finches are most likely the result of?
The 14 varieties of finches are most likely the result of adaptive radiation, where a common ancestor finch species diversified to fill different ecological niches on the Galapagos Islands over time. This diversification occurred as the finches adapted to different food sources and environmental conditions on the various islands.
