Answer:
Option B, Mammals and reptiles in the post-dinosaur age.
Explanation:
Adaptive radiation is mechanism through which species evolve very fast from common single ancestors. In simple words two different species are said to have evolved through adaptive radiation when they have descended from a single lineage. This is not the case with mammals and reptiles.
Generally in adaptive radiation, a species evolve when it faces new environmental challenges due to change of habitat or area. For example mammals have evolved from dinosaurs.
Hence, option B is correct
There should be options for this question. I manged to find them elsewhere. They are:
A) the period during which tremendous growth occurs and the organs continue to develop and become functional
B) the period during which the umbilical cord develops
C) the period during which the major organs and structures of the organism first develop
D) the period during which the zygote moves down to the uterus and begins to implant in the lining
The correct answer is C. The embryonic period is the period during which the major organs and structures of the organism first develop. The embryonic period lasts from implantation of the egg in the uterus until about 8 weeks from the time of conception. It is the second major stage of prenatal development, prior to embryonic is the germinal stage and lastly is the fetal stage.
Septoplasty is the surgical procedure.
