The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the term ADAPTIVE RADIATION. African cichlids are a group of closely related fish species. There are at least 500 known species living in three small lakes. Over time, specialized teeth and body colorations have evolved for each species in response to mutations and competition for food and mates. This change over time is an example of ADAPTIVE RADIATION. Adaptive radiation by definition, is <span>the diversification of a group of organisms into forms filling different ecological niches.</span>
Prokaryotes: Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and therefore have DNA floating loosely in the liquid center of the cell. Prokaryotes divide, and thus reproduce, by simple mitosis.
A - 3 bases at a time in the same direction
Answer:
A) results in evolutionary adaptation
Explanation:
Natural selection is the process in which organism with specific traits are able to survive than others. Natural selection allows the fittest to survive while eliminating the others. It prepares the species for environmental changes by resulting in evolutionary adaptation.
Evolutionary adaptation occurs when species goes through certain processes (hereditary, habits, Physical structures) to become fit in environment. These changes help the organism to evolve to adopt the changing environmental conditions.
Example; Sweating in human.
