How did polymorphism in cnidarians influence adaptive radiation of the group?
Polymorphism influences adaptive radiation of the cnidarians because the alternation of their forms between medusae and polyps lets it find the best fit in any environment.
Rapid speciation under conditions in which there is little competition?

What happens in adaptive radiation?
Adaptive radiation occurs when a species occupies a habitat with unoccupied niches
Divergent evolution is also known as?
Adaptive radiation
Why a species is most likely to undergo adaptive radiation?
When there is a sudden and long lasting change in the environment, adaptive radation will occur.
