What Is Adaptive Radiation?

What is adaptive radiation?

 

Adaptive radiation is the evolutionary mechanism wherein the animals adapt a certain part for different niches and habitats that they live in. One of the most famous adaptive radiation examples is the forearm of various mammals. Take a look at the list below:

Body part: Forearm/forelim

  • Porpoise - front flippers/fins (for swimming)
  • Mole rat - digging claws (for burrowing)
  • Humans - separate fingers with opposable thumb (for creating and using tools)

Adaptive radiation is  extremely useful in the study of evolutionary biology, which is why scientists tend to pay much attention about how different animals use their body parts for their certain adaptations and niches.

In What Ways Did Economic Competition Between Countries "Come At The Expense Of Others"? Select All Correct Answers., Countries Paid Taxes To Each Oth

In what ways did economic competition between countries "come at the expense of others"? Select all correct answers. Countries paid taxes to each other. The colonies supplied goods to the mother country. The colonies traded supplies in route. All interactions with other countries were congenial. Competition was intense for economic control.   Economic competition can affect the other country with regards to its supply of goods. Since the colonies traded supplies in routes, these interaction will be broken through the imposition of higher taxes . For example, the product of the Philippines is banana and the product of Japan is apple. if there will be a competition between the two countries the tendency is that Japan will have to increase tax imposition with regards to their apple products and the Philippines will find it very expensive to buy apples from Japan thus losing much money. The Philippines on the other hand may stop the trade of banana and Japan wil

How Is Condensation Seen In A Closed Container?

How is condensation seen in a closed container?   Condensation is seen in a closed container as droplets of water or dew-like drops . If you will look at the walls of a glass container, you will see water dripping on the sides. That is proof that condensation occured. Condensation of water vapor occurs when the vapor hits a surface with a lower temperature as compared to it. Take for example, when you boil water, you see the vapor rise from the water. Place a lid on the container for a few seconds, and you will see water droplets on the lid. This is because the lid has lower temperature, than the vapor.
