At the demise of the non-bird dinosaurs the extant mammals were all pretty much the same, all shrew like and having four paws with five figits. as the mammal radiated into the niches that were abandoned by the dinosaurs the basic tetrapod plan remained, but the digits especially changed, Look to the variance between the paws of a tiger, retractable claws that are razor sharp, pads on the bottom for running and the five digits, Then there is the horse, hardened hoof which is the middle digit extended and the nail grown and hardened. You can now think of many differences to forelimbs in mammals engendered by their adaptive radiation. ( whales come to mind )

What is it called when groups of organisms show rapid rate of diversification?

The phenomenon where groups of organisms show a rapid rate of diversification is called "adaptive radiation." This typically occurs when species expand into new ecological niches or following significant environmental changes, allowing them to evolve quickly and adapt to various conditions. Examples include the diversification of Darwin's finches in the Galápagos Islands and the rapid evolution of mammals after the extinction of the dinosaurs.


Why ultra violet radiation not show any diffraction pattern?

Ultraviolet radiation does exhibit diffraction patterns when passing through an obstacle or slit, but they may not be as easily observable as visible light due to the shorter wavelength of ultraviolet radiation. The diffraction patterns of ultraviolet radiation tend to be more widely spaced and harder to detect without specialized equipment.


Are coaches that do not have a Kinesiology major required to have an adaptive physical activity certifcate?

No, coaches without a background in Kinesiology are generally not required to have an Adaptive Physical Activity certificate. However, having such a certificate can be beneficial and show expertise in working with individuals who need modified physical activity programs. It ultimately depends on the specific requirements of the coaching position or organization.


Which of the following is an example of heat transfer by radiation A. an electric space heater warming a room B. a fire warming a group of campers C. the Sun warming the Earth?

Radiation is when heat shoots out like a ray, so all the examples given show radiation.


Do microwaves absorb Radiation?

Radiation describes any process by which energy emitted by one body travels through a medium or through space, to be absorbed by another body. Radiation is often associated with ionizing radiation (e.g., as occurring in nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors, and radioactive substances). However it also refers to electromagnetic radiation (i.e., radio waves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays). Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between that of radio waves and infrared light. I will place a link below to show this.

Which organisms are not examples of an adaptive radiation?

Organisms that show little to no diversification in response to new environments or niches would not be considered examples of adaptive radiation. This could include species that have remained relatively unchanged over long periods of time or those that have a limited distribution and do not exhibit a wide range of ecological adaptations.


The Galapagos finch species is an excellent example of?

The Galapagos finches were studied extensively by Charles Darwin and were instrumental in his theory of evolution. They show adaptive radiation, meaning they evolved to fit different niches in their habitat.


What is an absorptance?

An absorptance is a ratio measuring absorbed radiation and incident radiation - to show how well a particular surface absorbs radiation.


What information does the barometer show?

Because over the thousands of generations of humans it was more adaptive to show emotion than not.

What is the difference between Ray's and Radiation's?

Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.


What does an infrared satellite image show?

radiation emitted by objects during the day and night


What lamp will show invisible heat radiation?

An infrared lamp will show invisible heat radiation. Infrared lamps emit infrared light, which is not visible to the human eye but can be felt as heat due to its longer wavelength compared to visible light.
