Which is a correct interpretation of the cladogram shown below?
2 answers:
A cladogram is an image or a diagram that shows us an evolutionary relationship between different organisms. Up at the top we find the different organisms and their names. Along the side is where we find their characteristics. Anything that is past each characteristic will have that characteristic as you move up the cladogram. This diagram also shows which organisms are most closely related to one another.
Please see the image for an example. In this example we can see that the Koalas evolved after the trout.
I hope this helps, Regards.

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!
