Because slime molds does not live in water .
they live in shady and damp places
Water I think I honestly don’t know
Adaptive radiation is a process that occurs due to environmental changes and cause organisms to rapidly diversify from an ancestral species into a lot of new different forms. Simply saying, organisms evolve into a wide variety of new types that are adapted to new modes of life. For example, if certain animals from the same species, occupy different habitats with different environmental conditions, different morphological features or adaptations will be formed.
When mass extinction occurs, consequently number of species decrease and biodiversity is reduced. Many niches are left abundant, so they can be occupied by new species.
<h2>The answer is D.</h2><h3>I just simply saw it outside and i used some divice to find out!</h3>
Answer:
1. Exoskeleton
2. Jointed appendages
Please find the explanation of the mentioned characteristics below
Explanation:
Arthropods are a group of animals that lack backbones i.e invertebrates but possess jointed legs. Arthropods as their name implies all belong to a large phylum called ARTHROPODA. They include insects, crustaceans etc. Due to their large number among other animal species, their outstanding variety etc, they are considered the MOST SUCCESSFUL animals.
This success of arthropods can be attributed to the characteristics they possess. Two of them are:
- EXOSKELETON: The outside skeleton possessed by members of these phylum supports their body, movement and general protection.
- JOINTED LEGS/APPENDAGES: Arthropods are virtually the only set of organisms that have jointed appendages giving them the adaptational ability to live and thrive in almost every habitat, if not all.
