The fossil record shows that periods of what are followed by diversity in organisms?

The fossil record shows that periods of mass extinctions are followed by bursts of diversity in organisms. This phenomenon is known as adaptive radiation, where surviving species rapidly diversify to fill empty ecological niches left by the extinct species.


How might using mass selection and inbreeding hurt a species' chances for survival?

Because it will decrease the genetic diversity of the population.

How is it possible to support a higher mass of species?

Diversity is the key to any healthy ecosystem. Its like a mutual fund, the more varied your portfolio, the better it will do in the long run.


What affects have mass extinctions had on the history of life?

Mass extinctions have had a profound impact on the history of life by dramatically altering the diversity and composition of species. They have caused major shifts in ecosystems and have created opportunities for new species to evolve and adapt. Additionally, mass extinctions have played a key role in shaping the evolutionary trajectory of life on Earth.
