The production of several species from one ancestral species is called adaptive radiation. This process occurs when a single ancestral species diversifies into multiple different species in order to adapt to various ecological niches.

How is a cladogram used in classification?

A cladogram is a visual tool that displays evolutionary relationships among organisms based on shared characteristics. It helps to classify organisms into groups called clades, which consist of an ancestral species and all its descendants. By analyzing the branching patterns in a cladogram, scientists can determine the evolutionary history and relatedness of different species for classification purposes.


Why were the Galapagos islands so important to Darwin's observations?

During Darwins visit to the Galapagos island he observed that these islands had many unique organisms, most of which were similar to but different from the plants and animals from the nearest mainland.... thus this indicated how population evolved. Darwin called this "descent with modification" meaning an ancestral species could diversify into many descendant species by the accumulation of adaptation to various environment. His observation described the theory of evolution.

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.
