CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

True (although question is not clear enough)

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation occurs when <u>organisms evolve from the same ancestor. This process takes place as a result of environmental changes or when they are introduced to or colonize a new environment.</u> These changes become challenges that force these individuals to adapt to these new conditions.

Therefore, <u>this results into a faster evolution that creates different new forms</u> that possess a diversity of variations adapted to their new feeding habits, environment, and behavioral needs.

<em>One of the most famous examples of adaptive radiation is the formation of new forms of Galapagos finches.</em> These striking finches, which arose from a common ancestor, evolved different beak sizes and shapes that were especially adapted to different types of food. As different as they may appear, they are closely related!

There is another way of filtering waste products using the fluid in the peritoneum called peritoneal dialysis. Other complications of chronic kidney disease is anemia as erythropoeitin (functions to signal the production of red blood cells) is produced in the kidneys.
