Which feature do all adult echinoderms have?
Lana71 [14]
The phylum Echinodermata , which contains about 6000 species, gets its name from the Greek, literally meaning "spiny skin." Many echinoderms actually do have "spiny" skin, but others do not. This phylum exists exclusively in the sea, and cannot be found on land or in fresh water. All echinoderms have one thing in common: radial symmetry. This means that the creatures have appendages (or body construction) which point outward from the center of the body like the spokes on a bicycle wheel. Furthermore, these appendages usually occur in multiples of five, although there are a few exceptions. There are several well known members of this group, like sea stars and sea urchins. The radial symmetry is obvious in these creatures.

Evolution creates not the best solution but the most available. Building on your answer to the previous question what does this
Greeley [361]

This statement means that evolution has happened by getting the genes of the  right trait expressed at the right time to help adaptability.

Explanation:

Evolution is a result of natural selection which emphasize on the survival of the fittest. But the occurrence of this trait has been possible with genetic variation. It means that if the genes for the particular feature is not present in the genome how would it occur and adapt to the environment. Thus, evolution promotes the most available option for the adaptation and hence for natural selection.

We can conclude that all features are not adaptable some are the results of genetic drift or mutations.

In case of cheetah,  the faster running genes would have been there they got expressed over the period of time for better adaptability.

____ happens when a lineage splits into two or more lines of descent.
Evgesh-ka [11]

When a lineage splits into multiple line of descents, then, it leads to speciation. It is a process by which a single population evolves into different species.  The process of speciation leads to the development of two or more species as  the lineages are splitted. These two evolved species are genetically independent.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'speciation'.
